Was Abrahams married? Did he have children? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaedglass ( talk • contribs) 02:16, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
It is mentioned (in the end credits to Chariots of Fire) that Harold Abrahams did marry Sybil. His daughter is shown in the article accompanying this article. 83.198.121.93 ( talk) 14:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.198.121.93 ( talk) 14:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the term "Jewish" from the opening paragraph, which formerly read "Jewish British". This conforms with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies):
Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.)
His Jewishness is mentioned throughout the article - indeed, in the line following the opening paragraph.-- Kitty Davis 07:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I think I've heard that Abrahams became quite a distinguished lawywer. If that's the case, please could someone add it to the article? Figeac ( talk) 08:49, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
I thought I read somewhere that Abrahams was not in fact an amateur singer who participated in G&S productions at university. I think I read that that was a bit of artistic license in Chariots of Fire. Anyone have a link to confirm this? Thanks. Softlavender ( talk) 08:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Anyone have knowledge (and verification of) Abrahams' son's name? Softlavender ( talk) 01:51, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
From Thai Wikipedia article, th:โอลิมปิกฤดูร้อน 1924, since that page created, page creator was wrote about Harold Abrahams was used "Easton syrup" and he will disqualified (or not win medals) if found he "doping" (failed drug test or other reasons to found he was doping). -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 06:39, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I would check up about the location and timing of the sprint mentioned in this article. A location is not given. A report in Shropshire Star newspaper (Wednesday 11 July 2012) recalls Abrahams "Weeks before the Paris Olympics", won gold in the 100 yd sprint at the Midland Area AAA Championship at St George's Recreation Ground in what is now Telford, Shropshire. The report mentions that a memorial to Abrahams is to be built in Telford to commemorate the event, seen as a local part in his Olympic success. I wonder if that may have been the same event. Cloptonson ( talk) 22:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC) Under 'Honours' section I have reported the announcement of the intended memorial, cited to local newspaper. Cloptonson ( talk) 05:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC) I have found no mention of the event in Shropshire newspaper "The Shrewsbury Chronicle", which then had county-wide coverage.

Running with Fire: The True Story of Harold Abrahams (2011), by Mark Ryan, is a wonderful resource. It's available on Kindle and paperback: [1] (U.S.); [2] (UK). It also dispels several rumors and inaccuracies about Harold which have arisen over the years (some of which are unfortunately still in this Wikipedia article).

See: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17430431003701530 Is there anything wrong with these learned articles? The learned dispute should be mentioned in the main article. -- Alexander Tendler ( talk) 12:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

"vigorous training..." Seriously? Shouldn't this be rigorous? Beowulf ( talk) 02:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Polish Lituania was annexed by Russia during the Partitions of Poland. The territory of the Congress Kingdom had been first annexed by Prussia (Warsaw) and Austria (Lublin) before the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw by Napoleon in 1807 ( Tilsit treaties).
Congress Poland had then no part of ex-Lituania. Abrahams' father had no relation with this state.
