The unsightly outcome of the 1500 meter walk from the previous day was repeated. Wilkinson and Spiegler were again disqualified when they started running on the home stretch. In the case of Spetsiotis, sources disagree as to whether he too was disqualified or whether the walking regularly finished sixth.
