Olympic champion Bob Mathias on a postage stamp from the Emirate of
Ajman from 1971
Bottom line
Date: 5th / 6th August 1948
There was no clear favorite. The French Ignace Heinrich was a candidate for a medal, as was the US champion Bob Mathias, who at the age of 17 had already scored an excellent 7,224 points in his second decathlon . European champion Godtfred Holmvang from Norway no longer had quite the shape of the 1946 European championships . Surprisingly, the Argentinian Enrique Kistenmacher was ahead of Heinrich after the first day. The athletes suffered from bad weather conditions on the second day. It was cold and rainy. After the discus throw, Mathias took the lead, although his best distance was not measured due to a mistake by the judges. He did not give up this leadership anymore and at the age of just 17 became the youngest Olympic champion in athletics to date.
Ignace Heinrich won the first decathlon medal for France.
