Next day. he returned to spring the no-meter high hurdles in 14.5 sec., hurl the discus 170 ft. 6½ in. (almost 10 ft. farther than he had ever thrown it before), pole-vault 13 ft. ¼ in., throw the javelin 233 ft. 3 in. and run 1,500 meters in 5 min. 9.9 sec. Yet even though Rafer Johnson had broken Kuznetsov's ten-event record...
