Summary

Now, White City and the exciting Great Britain versus United States match. In the men’s 100 yards, all eyes were on Bob Hayes from America, who just managed to beat Ron Jones. The 4 x 110 yards relay was a British win, thanks to the Jones Boys Ron, David and Berwyn and Peter Radford. Britain’s Dorothy Hyman won the women’s 100 in 10.7.
