Emilio Lunghi
Emilio Lunghi ( born March 16, 1887 in Genoa, † September 26, 1925 ibid ) was an Italian middle-distance runners and sprinters.
At the Olympic Games in London in 1908, he won the 800m with 1:54,2 ( 1:52,8 min ) min the silver medal behind Americans Mel Sheppard. Over 1500 m, it was in the lead with 4:03,8 min second behind Norman Hallows ( 4:03,4 min) and thus missed the part in the finals, for which only qualified the lead winner, though his time not only the second-fastest in the heats was, but would have served well in the final for the bronze medal. In the three-mile team race he came in the run to the finish and not different with the Italian team out.
The following year, he introduced, starting for the Irish-American Athletic Club, three world best on: 1:27,8 min for 700 yards, 1:52,8 min for 880 yards and 2:45,6 min for a two-thirds mile.
In 1912 he reached the semi-finals respectively at the Olympic Games in Stockholm over 400 m and 800 m.
