Nurmi plodded on. One lap, two laps. His levers began to pump a little faster. Ray was tired. Suddenly Ray, suddenly Hahn, heard a great roar that was not for them. The robin's-egg shirt had begun to move. Hahn, Ray, saw it go past them, round the turn, into the last lap. Six yards from the tape, Nurmi looked over his shoulder...
