- British Pathe Summary - Women train for athletics events and show their talents.
Pathe synopsis: "At Battersea Park we saw them, fit [illegible] enthusiastic - getting ready for the Women’s Olympiad." Shot of 6 women in shorts with their arms around each other. "Just a run round first. (with a "slowed" view to follow.)" "Many races are lost owing to a bad start - so they must practise getting away quickly." "Our Ultra-Rapid Camera shows what perfection they have attained." "Hurdling offers little difficulties to these athletic Eves." "They clear the obstacles with inches to spare." Long jump, high jump, hurdles, leap frog, sprinting are demonstrated. Inter-title reads "And Cupid’s darts sometimes look very small beside Eve’s Javelin". A woman is shown throwing a javelin from several angles. - Keywords
