In this competition, Ray Ewry won his sixth gold medal. At the Olympic Games in 1900 , just like here in St. Louis, he had won all three standing jumping disciplines. He won the triple jump here with a lead of almost forty centimeters. He only missed his own Olympic record by four centimeters - with Kluge it is three centimeters. The silver medal went to Charles King - in some sources also referred to as Con King . He also took second place in the standing long jump . Joseph Stadler, silver medalist in the standing vault , was third ahead of Garrett Serviss, second in the high jump with a run-up.
