- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: AAA Championships. DESCRIPTION: Top people like Gordon Pirie were in the White City spotlight during the 3 As Championship Meeting. Judging from the Six Miles, Britain’s long distance runners will be right in the forefront. Winner of this race was Gordon Pirie. It was his first AAA title for 7 years, and also the fastest 6 miles he’s ever run: 28 minutes, 9.6. In the High Jump Bob Kotei from Ghana set a Champion Best with 6 feet, ten. In the Three Miles we saw some more new faces as well as old ones. Derek Ibbotson, for instance. Could he show Olympic form? He showed promise. But the Three Miles’ winner was Frank Salvat of London who won by nearly 30 yards. SHOTLIST: No shot list.
