Jim Thorpe, 100 years after achievements in Stockholm Olympics, still ranks as America's finest all-around athlete

In the 1912 Olympics, Jim Thorpe won both the pentathlon and decathlon. It was, he said, the highlight of his life. Yet Thorpe was far more than an Olympic star. He's in both the college and pro football halls of fame, the U.S. track and Olympic halls of fame and played major league baseball. He had speed, power and an ability to see something done once, and then do it better, said one U.S. Olympic teammate. My story on Thorpe's magnificent achievements for the U.S. Olympic site on the 100th anniversary of the Stockholm Games. http://www.teamusa.org/News/2012/June/11/Jim-Thorpe-The-Greatest-Athlete-A-Century-Later-June-11-2012.aspx
