Here's a picture of Olympic oak trees in Kreager Park. Although they're really English Oak trees, I call them Olympic Oaks, because they were grown from acorns I gathered from an oak planted at the Stadium in Gladbeck, Germany. In the 1936 Olympic Games, the gold medalists were given oak tree seedlings in addition to gold medals. This oak in Gladbeck was given to Willy Kaiser, the winner in the flyweight class boxing competition.
