final
Date: September 1, 1960, 5:30 p.m.
The outcome of this race was open. A duel between the US sprinter Ray Norton, winner of the US trials, and Dave Sime with the European champion from 1958 , Armin Hary from Germany, as the challenger, who had set a new world record in June, was expected . In July, Canadian Harry Jerome set Harys record but Jerome was out due to injury.
The final race began with two false starts, first by Sime, then by Hary. The third attempt to start was successful, and thanks to his excellent acceleration in the first few meters, Hary was clearly ahead halfway through the route. But on the second 50 meters Sime came closer and closer, but couldn't quite reach Hary. Armin Hary, lane 6, won the gold medal in front of Dave Sime, lane 1, and the Briton Peter Radford on lane 5. Behind was Cuban Enrique Figuerola, lane 4. The favorite Norton came on lane 3 as last behind Frank Budd, Lane 2 to the finish.
It was the fastest final at the Olympic Games to date. All runners achieved times of up to 10.5 seconds. There was a difference of only 18 hundredths of a second between the first and the last.
Armin Hary won the first Olympic victory of a German over 100 meters and the first Olympic victory of a German athlete since 1936 .
