(The following was written by the Rev. Bob Richards of the U.S.A. who won the Olympic gold medal in the pole vault at Helsinki in 1952 and again at Melbourne in 1956. He is attending the Rome Olympica as a broadcaster for the Columbia Broadcasting System, and in this article tells what it is like to compete for the highest honour an athlete can win or lose).

Rome, Aug. 28.

You win Olympics by quarter inches. In Helsinki Parry O'Brien beat U.S.A. teammate Darrow Hooper in the shot-put by a quarter of an inch. I won the pole valut by an inch. Of course, in my speciality, I had three jumps, three chances. But think of the sprinter he trains four years, then has just 10.2 seconds or 20.5 seconds to make it or not. I'm con- vinced that some of the world's greatest athletes never win the Olympics.
