58 Herb Elliott 1960 Olympics

1960: Herb Elliott of Australia stands a head above many multiple Olympic champions by his single victory in the 1500 metres at the Rome Games in 1960, when he scattered a richly talented field to win by some twenty metres in the world record time of 3min 35.6 sec. Elliott is followed by Istvan Rozsavolgyi of Hungary, who finished third, and Michel Jazy of France, who finished second. Mandatory Credit: IOC/Allsport
