Men 4x100m Relay Athletics XV Olympic Games Helsinki, Finland 1952 - -- July - Gold Medal:

Final 17:10		time	Ath.1	Ath.2	Ath.3	Ath.4
1. United States	_	40.1s	Dean Smith	Harrison Dillard	Lindy Remigino	Andy Stanfield
2. Soviet Union	_	40.3s	Boris Tokarev	Levan Kaljajev	Levan Sanadze	Vladimir Suharev

6. Czechoslovakia	_	41.2s	Frantisek Broz	Jiri David	Miroslav Horcic	Zdenek Posp�sil

In the final Tokarev surprisingly led Smith, and with better changeovers the Soviets were ahead by a metre at halfway. Remigino caught Sanadze and Stanfield came out of the last baton pass slightly ahead of Sukharev. The best sprinter on view in Helsinki drew away to win by 3m. In view of the fact that the USA team uniquely contained three individual event gold medallists it was a tribute to the USSR teamwork that the Americans could not win by a larger margin from a team without any big name sprinters.
