生平

他于1867年4月2日出生于普魯士王國柯尼斯堡(今加里寧格勒)的一个犹太人家庭。他的父亲是德国人,而他的母亲是俄罗斯血统[4]。虽然他的父母都出生于犹太家庭,但后来都成为路德宗信徒,也希望他成为一名路德宗牧师[5]:6[6][7]。为避免服兵役,他于1885年离开普鲁士游历欧洲,曾加入马戏团,并取了化名尤金·山道。

在布鲁塞尔,他参观了路德维格·德拉克(Ludwig Durlacher)的健身房[8],并受到后者赏识和指导,让他前往伦敦参加大力士比赛,由此出名。

小弗洛伦茨·齐格菲尔德想在芝加哥举行的1893年芝加哥哥伦布纪念博览会上雇佣他进行表演[9],但之前莫里斯·格劳(Maurice Grau)已经签下山道[10],每周支付1000美元。齐格菲尔德虽然给不了那么多,但同意以总收入的10%作为补偿[10]

1894年,爱迪生影业拍摄了以他为主角的三部短片《山道》(Sandow[11]。他开设了自己的健身房“Sandow Institute”[12],1898年,他创办月刊《山道体育杂志》(Sandow's Magazine of Physical Culture),随后又出版了不少体育类书籍,并创造了“body-building”(健美)一词[13]

1901年,山道在伦敦皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳举办了世界上第一场大型健美比赛。会场人满为患。主持比赛的三位评委是雕塑家查尔斯·贝内特·劳斯、作家阿瑟·柯南·道尔和山道本人。[14]

1902年,山道在纽约市的举重比赛中被凯蒂·布鲁姆巴赫击败。这场胜利后,布鲁姆巴赫给自己改了姓“Sandwina”(Sandow一名的女性化)。[15][16]

他周游世界,去过南非、印度、日本、澳大利亚、新西兰等。从1909年开始,他自费为英國陸軍預備役部隊新兵提供训练,使他们达到体能标准。[17]

1911年,他成为乔治五世的体育老师[18]

去世

 
普特尼谷公墓的山道墓

山道于1925年10月14日在伦敦肯辛顿的家中去世,当时报道称他死于腦出血,享年58岁[1][19]。据称,这是由于他两三年前在没有帮助的情况下,用力将一辆遭遇车祸的汽车从沟里抬出来所致[20]。其死亡报告显示死因为主動脈瘤,但其实他没有经过尸检[20]

应妻子的要求,桑多安葬在帕特尼谷公墓(Putney Vale Cemetery),未树立墓碑,传闻这是因为他婚后出轨。但她的妻子对原因一直避而不谈[20]。2002年,他的墓碑才由仰慕者树立起来,2008年由其后代重新立碑[21]

个人生活

山道于1894年与曼彻斯特摄影师沃里克·布鲁克斯(Warwick Brooks)的女儿布兰奇·布鲁克斯结婚[22],育有两个女儿[23][24]

At the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago he joined Florenz Ziegfeld's Trocadero Company and toured the continent for several years. Ziegfeld's Follies and his glorification of the American girl were inspired in part by his earlier successful showcasing of Sandow. Noted physical educator Dudley Sargent of Harvard University examined Sandow and judged him to be the finest specimen of manhood he had seen. By the time he left the United States, Sandow's name was a household word, and he had earned more than a quarter million dollars.

In New York the younger Ziegfeld knew Maurice Grau, grand opera impresario, had under contract Eugene Sandow. The "perfect man" Mr. Grau esteemed as worth $1,000 a week. Mr. Ziegfeld could not guarantee anybody $1,000 a week and so offered 10% of the gross. The deal was made and Sandow went to the World's Fair.
