The Flash: "The Olympic Adventure"
Jay Garrick and Joan Williams attend an Olympic trial track meet at their alma mater, Western University. The favored athletes all lose their races, causing Flash to suspect foul play. He enters the races himself in order to stop the gamblers winning any money, and to expose the gambling ring. He also exposes his dual identity, as he enters the races under his own name, and does not hold back at all; Joan calls him Flash in front of hundreds of people. As it, of course, turns out, the track stars have been drugged to keep them from performing at top levels. Flash forces confessions from the men behind the scheme: J. Edwin Dorn (assistant commissioner at Western University), Maloney (a gambling boss), and Jonesy (a trainer), and the races are rescheduled to allow for fair competition.
