The race
Date: July 20, 1952, 6:00 p.m.
Emil Zátopek, world record holder, defending champion and European champion, was the top favorite on this route. The first two kilometers were led by the Soviet Russian Alexander Anufrijew. On the sixth lap, Zátopek then took the lead and increased the pace. Only the French Alain Mimoun could go, but then lost contact with the Czechoslovak at 8000 meters. Zátopek won the race by 15 seconds over Mimoun and 31 seconds over Anufrijew. Thus, as in 1948 , gold and silver went to Zátopek and Mimoun. The winning time was more than 40 seconds better than the existing Olympic record that Zátopek himself had set in 1948. For world record , however, were missing about 15 seconds.
Alexander Anufrijew won the first medal for the Soviet Union in athletics in men.
The last-placed Trần Văn Lý was the first athlete from the then Republic of Vietnam to take part in the Olympic Games.
