    Greetings, I am James Francis Thorpe, known to my people as Wa-Tho-Huk. I graced this world on May 22 or 28, 1887. It was my honor to represent the Sac and Fox Nation and the United States as an accomplished athlete and Olympic gold medalist in events such as the classic pentathlon and the decathlon. My pursuits extended to football, baseball, and basketball, showcasing the versatility and passion I held for sports.
