The International Olympic Committee declared American athlete Jim Thorpe a champion in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden.
Jim Thorpe was one of the best athletes in the United States in the first half of the 20th century, before his Olympic achievement was revoked for receiving $25 for playing with one of the humble baseball teams.
Receiving money meant that Thorpe was a professional, which was in violation of strict amateur rules at the time.
Thorpe received an offer upon his return to New York from Stockholm, and admitted receiving the money, and his demands for leniency in the penalties imposed on him were ignored, and later he practiced baseball and American football, and achieved his record in the decathlon in 1948.
Thorpe died of a heart attack in 1953.
The Olympic Committee made a change, and considered Thorpe the winner of the decathlon after 110 years, after the approval of the Norwegian and Swedish committees.
IOC President Thomas Bach said: "We welcome that a solution has been reached. It was a unique and exceptional situation, and it was handled in an extraordinary way by the National Olympic Committees involved."
