He tied with Jack Davis in the US trials before the Melbourne Olympics and
a foto-finish had to split them at Melbourne.
In 1958 he was suspended by the Amateur Athletic Union because his wife had

world record at 13.2 sec in 1960, before winning the Olympic title for a
second time, again on a foto-finish.

Fame.

The Military event in Stockholm had five (not three as today) sections. Cariou
won sections 1,2,3 and 5, but finished only 14th in section 4, which made
he only won the bronze medal. Curiously, that fourth section was a Jumping,
the event in which he would later win individual gold (although on a different
horse).

She initially showed great promise as an ice-skater but she was invited in
1957 to take part in nationwide trials to find gymnastic talent. One year
later, she made her debut at the World Chamionships, winning silver in the
team event. Her first European title came in 1959 on the beam. By 1962, only
Larissa Latynina stood between her and the individual world title, but at
Tokyo, she was at her peak. In the 1965 and 1967 European Championships,
she won all five individual gold medals.
In 1968, in Mexico City, she married Josef Odlozil, silver medalist of the
1500 m at Tokyo, but they would divorce in 1992 and in 1993 their son Martin
would shoot and kill his father.
Just like Emil Zatopek, she supported the causes
for freedom in 1968. It got her into big trouble with the government,
but after the collapse of socialism in 1989, she was appointed president
of the Czech Olympic Committee and later became a member of the IOC.
