Emil Zátopek's Treble, Helsinki 1952

Emil Zátopek's Treble, Helsinki 1952
Czechoslovakia's Emil Zátopek, bib 903, alone on the track in front of a packed Olympic Stadium during the 10,000 meters in Helsinki on July 20, 1952, in a rare color frame from those Games. He won it, then the 5,000 meters four days later, then entered the marathon, a distance he had never raced, and won that by two minutes. Each came with an Olympic record, and no one else has won all three at one Games.
