Edwin Flack is also honoured by having an Edwin Flack Ave at Sydney Olympic Park named after him.-- 203.217.45.241 06:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
(1) A radio documentary on ABC Radio National in Australia ( Hindsight 15AUG04 and audio for a few weeks) gives the sequence as: 800m, 1500m, tennis, marathon. I will amend this sequence on the page if there is no objection within a few days.
(2) Nothing much is brought out about the common fallacy of Flack not being "Australia's first gold medalist". Gold medals were brought in at a later games (1904??). The first medals were silver (1st) and bronze (2nd) and nothing (3rd), and the current medals are 'gilt' (gold over silver), which is discussed on the main Olympics page.
