Former world record holder dies http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/athletics/4395713.stm
American hurdler Milton Green, who boycotted the 1936 Berlin Olympics in protest at Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, has died at the age of 91. Green was a former joint world record holder in both the 40m and 60m hurdles. "My room-mate and I both qualified for final tryouts - then we got a call from the rabbi at our temple," Green told The Palm Beach Post in 1997. "He suggested the boycott, and we talked it over with our families and decided. I never regretted it." ENDS
