In June of 1900, he had set a world record of 7.50 m for the Long Jump. In the qualification at Paris, he led the competition with 7.17, but the final was scheduled for Sunday. This was contrary to the beliefs of many American participants, who did not compete on Sunday. His Syracuse teammates prevented Prinstein from competing on the Sunday, even though Myer himself was jewish. Al Kraenzlein, or his teammates had no qualms and won the final with 7.18 m. On monday, Prinstein was so insensed over his countryman's 'betrayal' that he hit him with his fist. He was awarded a silver medal in the long jump at Paris nevertheless. He consoled himself by winning the triple jump, ahead of the winner in 1896, James Connolly.
At St.Louis, he won long and triple jump on the same day, although the absence of the Long Jump World record holder, Irishman Peter O'Connor was regrettable. (O'Connor's jump would be the World record for 20 years, and the Irish record for almost 89 !)
He represented the Irish Athletic Association of Greater New York in the Club championship.
His death was not in 1928, as mentioned in most sources, but in 1925, the grandson of his younger sister told us.
