The second and third places were not awarded to the two Japanese after another jump-off, but at the command of the Japanese team leader, who gave Nishida the second place, since he had succeeded in clearing 4.25m in the first trial, while Oe required a second attempt.

With 25 competitors the event was almost interminable, taking a full five hours, and ending under floodlights. This added to the drama of Leni Reifenstahl’s “Olympia”, the official film of the Games which gave full and artistic coverage of the event. The USA had to do without George Varoff, the world record holder, who placed only fourth in the US Trials, but Meadows fought off the stiff Japanese challenge by clearing 4.35 on his second attempt. Nishida and Oe were officially second and third but in a gesture of friendship they cut their medals in two and had them soldered together. Apps, who tied for sixth, was later much better known in his own country as a player in the North American National Hockey League and as a Conservative MP.
