		Meyer Prinstein, world record holder in the long jump, was forbidden to compete in the finals because they were held on a Sunday, the Christian day of rest.

		A member of the 1900, 1904 and 1906 Olympic teams, Meyer Prinstein was the world's greatest horizontal jumper at the turn of the 20th century.
