The Olympic Games 100 metres final at Wembley Stadium with Harrison Dillard of USA winning in 10.3 seconds. This equals the previous best Olympic performances of Eddie Tolan in 1932 and Jessie Owens in 1936. Dillard (b.1923) failed to qualify for the 110 metres hurdles, his speciality, at the Olympic trials but did qualify in third and last place for the 100 metres event. Dillard went on to qualify for the 110 metres hurdle event at the Olympics in Helsinki in 1952 and won gold. Daily Herald Archive at the National Media Museum
