Emil Zatopek, the Czech wonder, brought off an historic Olympic double today by winning the 5,000 Metres in record time. He had won carlier the 10,000 Metres race, It was the first time that a runner had won both these races at the same Games since 1912.

Britain's Chris Chataway, red-headed Oxford graduate, was up with him almost to the end, then crashed into the bank and collapsed with a cut ankle. He picked himself up and, white as a sheet, ho ran into fifth place behind Britain's Gordon Pirie, the South London Harrier, who was fourth.
