Norton, the world’s best in 1959, was the favourite together with Hary
and Canada’s Harry Jerome. Hary set an Olympic record of 10.2
(10.32) in his quarter-final. Jerome, who, like Hary, had run 10.0 earlier
in the season, was leading his semi-final at 50m when he pulled up with
a leg injury. Hary won the other semi-final.
Hary, known in his own country as “the thief of starts”, was called
back for a false start in the final. Once the race started, he took a metre
lead in the first 10 with his technically superb start, and held off veteran
Dave Sime, who had been last after 25m. Radford closed quickly to
edge the surprising Figuerola for the bronze medal, with the favoured
two Americans performing below par. Hary, the first German to win
Olympic gold in a track event, was later found to be able to react in
three thousandths of a second – rather quicker than the current allowable limit
of 10 thousands.
