History.
Venue: Helsingin Olympiastadion. Cappacity: 70,000. 34 competitors from 22 nations.
Williams, the Empire Champion, was favourite after an early season national record of 6.14, but reigning champion Gyarmati and Chudina (6.05) were also highly regarded. The Kiwi broke her national record with 6.16 in the qualifying round, but had two fouls in the final while Chudina stretched out to a Soviet record 6.14. Williams then reached the second best jump ever – 6.24 – in round 4, missing Blankers-Koen’s world record by a single centimetre.
