Q-same quiz -

Nobody came even c - l - o - s - e to naming this great Montrealer whose life - like so many - was ruined by a penis. It's one of the strangest local athletic tales ever. That's another photo of her. She's kinda hot in a 30's kinda way. Maybe I'll give the winner the same highly exciting new book from last time if it inspires some replies. The Gino Vanelli quiz winner never claimed it.
Answer: Yes! We have a correct reply. This is Hilda Strike. She is from Montreal but we're unsure over which of the half dozen Strikes in the Lovells was her family. Most of those listed were working class families from the Point and Verdun. In later years she lived at 174 Lecavalier in St. Laurent.
Strike ran 11.9 seconds in the 100 meters on August 2, 1932 in Los Angeles. She tied Stella Walsh, who was an American competing for Poland and was also known as Stanislawa Walasiewicz. Judges gave the tie to the Pole. Pole in more than one way. When she was shot to death in Cleveland in 1980 Walsh was subjected to an autopsy that found that she had a penis. Walsh's wikipedia page says that some sources claim there were female genitalia as well, so there's some dispute as to whether the cheat who was awarded the gold medal was a man or a hermaphrodite.
Since it was discovered that the Polish-American (in the photo at left) had stolen the victory, many assumed that the Olympic Committee would rectify the oversight and give Strike the gold medal that was rightfully hers. But they allowed the cheated victory stand. Strike moved to Ottawa to live in an old age home in Gloucester Ontario with her husband and died three years later in March 1989, aged 78. She died as Hilda Sisson after taking her husband's name.
But Strike's gold medal performance wasn't even top Montreal-related Olympic story of that day in August 76 years ago. Anybody know what was considered bigger?
