- Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the sports characteristics of the members of the Spanish Armed Forces in active service who participated in the Olympic Games of 1920. For this purpose, the present study was developed using the collective biographical method. In the investigation, different sources were analyzed and interpreted: documental, oral and bibliographic sources as well as the written media. Following this analysis, we found ten persons who conform to our objective and who, through their collective biographies, provide us with a greater scientific knowledge about the historical sports context that they experienced. They participated in activating physical and sports practices in the Armed Forces; they fostered sports associations in Spain; and they helped to promote the Olympic Games in the nation. The conclusions show that almost all of them reached the Olympic Games through a national selection process; most began the sport in which they competed in the Olympic Games thanks to the activities undertaken in the Armed Forces; and almost all had logistical difficulties at the Olympic sites.
