The wider picture
Track and field medals were awarded for individual events rather than for an overall championship score. The event’s distance and final date identify the performance within an athletics programme running from 22 September to 1 October. The final gave each athlete a sequence of attempts, and the best valid mark decided the result. A foul attempt could not contribute to the final placing.
