L'eccellenza mondiale Campione europeo 1946 6.987 Godtfred Holmvang Presente Vincitore selezioni USA 7.222 p. Robert Mathias Presente L'URSS è assente ai Giochi. In concomitanza con le gare di Londra, si svolge una gara di Decathlon in terra sovietica. Vince (7 agosto) Vladimir Volkov con 7.229 punti. Il 10 agosto il connazionale Heino Lipp fa ancora meglio: 7.584 punti.
Risultati L'americano Robert "Bob" Mathias fa una seconda giornata strepitosa (era terzo dopo il primo giorno) e vince l'oro. È ancora uno studente delle scuole superiori e non conosce a fondo il regolamento. Per esempio, annulla il suo miglior risultato nel peso uscendo frontalmente dalla pedana... Nell'alto, a quota 1,75 commette due errori e si salva solo dimenticando il suo stile e saltando "all'italiana". 100 metri piani + 100m piani Pos.AtletaTempoPunti1 Enrique Kistenmacher10"98722 Örn Clausen11"18143 Peter Mullins11"2787 Bob Mathias11"2787 Floyd Simmons11"27876 Ignace Heinrich11"3760 Irving Mondschein11"37608 René Kremer11"57109 Hércules Azcune11"6686 Hernán Figueroa11"6686 Oto Rebula11"6686 Erik Andersson11"6686 Eduardo Julve11"6686 Kjell Tånnander11"6686 Jacques Crétaine11"6686 Lionel Fournier11"668617 Edward Adamczyk11"766218 Mario Recordón11"8640 Sayed Moukhtar11"8640 Baldev Singh11"864021 Per Eriksson11"9618 Pierre Sprécher11"9618 Johannes Sonck11"9618 Fritz Nussbaum11"9618 Yrjö Mäkelä11"961826 Oskar Gerber11"961827 Per Stavem12"0597 Wacław Kuźmicki12"0597 Albert Dayer12"059730 Witold Gerutto12"1576 Godtfred Holmvang12"1576 Davorin Marčelja12"157633 Josef Seger12"353634 Armin Scheurer12"549935 Gebhard Büchel12"7464
