The pre-meet favourites were Lueg, who had equalled the world record of 3:43.0 in the German championships, and the top two men of 1951, Bannister, and El Mabrouk. The large entry meant that an extra round was needed to arrive at a 12-man final. All the preliminary races were tactical affairs, the athletes mindful of the extra round, with Åberg (3:51.14) the fastest in round 1 and Denis Johansson (3:49.59) of Finland the quickest in the semi-finals. Lamers set a fast pace in the final, seemingly to help his compatriot Lueg, but after passing 400m in 57.8 he slowed to 2:01.4 at 800m. Lueg moved ahead at 900m, and led by 2m at the bell (2:48.0). Piling on the pressure, Lueg led by 3m as the athletes came off the final curve, with the surprising Barthel in second, just ahead of McMillen on the inside and Bannister and El Mabrouk on the outside. Barthel quickly moved away from the others and caught Lueg with just under 50m to go. McMillen passed Lueg with 20m to go and finished 0.11 down on the Luxembourg star, who was as surprised as the crowd by his win. Barthel later broke down in tears of happiness on the victory stand after winning his country’s only major championship gold medal in athletics history (but also see the 1900 Marathon).
