Edith Florence Trickey (b. 1903), later Littlefair; educ. Walthamstow School for Girls, rose to prominence in the early 1920s and quickly made a name for herself as a short and middle-distance runner. Competing under the banner of the London lympiads Athletic Club, she was at the forefront of moves to encourage womens athletics in the wake of the first three Women’s Olympiads, held in Monaco in 1921-3. Since 1880 the Amateur Athletic Association had held championship meetings, but only for men. Women's clubs and competitions were typically separate and, in line with growing interest in the sport, the Womens Amateur Athletic Association (WAAA) was founded in 1922. The first womens championships were staged at the xo Sports round, ownham, Bromley in August 1923 and, with the exception of Reading in 1927, track and field championship events were staged at various London locations until the outbreak of World War II. The development and success of these meetings helped to cement the inclusion of women athletes at the lympic ames for the first time, in Amsterdam in 1928. The previous year she had married Frederick Norman Littlefair (b. 1901), a Cumbrian long-distance athlete.


The 1924 Women’s Olympiad, held at Stamford Bridge, Fulham, on 4 August in front of 25,000 spectators, was organised in co-operation with the News of the World, porting ife and the aily irror, in co-operation with the WAAA and the Fédération Sportive Feminine Internationale under the chairwoman, Alice Milliat. The games were attended by participants from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Switzerland and the UK competing in 12 disciplines, with athletes from Canada and USA participating in exhibition events. Almost all medals were won by athletes from France and the UK. During the Olympiad seven world records were set: Mary Lines in the 120 yards Hurdles and 250 metres, Edith Trickey in the 1,000 metres, Albertine Regel in 1,000 metres Walking, Elise van Truyen in High Jump, Violett Morris in Discus and Louise Groslimond in Javelin. However, poorly performed measuring meant that only two of these records, by Trickey and Regel, were later ratified.
