  • Sam Stoller (Cincinnati, 8 agosto 1915 – 29 maggio 1985) è stato un velocista statunitense e saltatore in lungo che nel 1936 stabilì il record mondiale sulla distanza delle 60 yard.È noto soprattutto per la sua esclusione dalla squadra di staffetta 4×100 statunitense alle Olimpiadi estive del 1936 a Berlino. La sostituzione scatenò la diffusa speculazione secondo cui lui e - gli unici due ebrei nella squadra di atletica degli Stati Uniti - fossero stati esclusi perché il presidente del Comitato Olimpico degli Stati Uniti, Avery Brundage, voleva evitare di mettere in imbarazzo Adolf Hitler facendo vincere due medaglie d'oro a due atleti ebrei. Stoller giurò che non avrebbe mai più corso, ma tornò nel 1937 per vincere sia i campionati Big Ten Conference che il NCAA Championship sulle 100 yard. Dopo essersi laureato presso l'Università del Michigan, nel 1937, Stoller iniziò brevemente a cantare e recitare con il nome d'arte di "Singin 'Sammy Stoller". (it)
