Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the International Olympic Committee should correct the Olympic records for Jim Thorpe for his unprecedented accomplishments during the 1912 Olympic Games.

This resolution formally requests that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) update its official records to recognize Jim Thorpe as the sole gold medalist in the pentathlon and decathlon events of the 1912 Olympic Games. While Thorpe’s medals were stripped in 1913 due to a violation of amateurism rules and he was later named a co-champion in 1982, this measure seeks to restore his status as the outright winner to reflect his original athletic achievements. For the public, this bill serves as a formal expression of congressional support for honoring the legacy of one of America’s most versatile athletes and correcting a century-old historical record.
