RECORDS CREATED
Czech's Wonderful Run In 10,000 Metres
SWIMMING MARK UPSET BY TWO WOMEN
(By VERNON MORGAN, REUTER'S SPORTS EDITOR)
London, July 30.-A wonder record-breaking run by the great Czechoslovak runner, Emil "Demon Dynamo" Zatopek, in the 10,000 metres was the highlight of the first day's struggle of the 14th Olympiad..
Three records were shattered and three Olympic titles decided-the 10,000 metres, the high jump and the women's discus throw. They were won by Czecho- slovakia, Australia and France respectively.
Zatopek's time was 29 minutes 59.6 seconds and it smashed a 16-year-old record set up in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Other records broken were the 400 metres hurdles and the 200 metres women's breast stroke- The swimming record was beaten twice in 10 minutes- first by Eva Szekely, a tiny Hungarian, then by Nel Van Vliet, of Holland, who sped to a, now mark of two minutes 57.4 seconds.
