At Los Angeles, he had set an Olympic record of 9 min 14.6 sec in his heat,
so it was a surprise when the winning time in the final was announced as
10 min 33.4 sec. In fact, due to the official scoring the laps being ill,
a substitute had miscounted and the runners ran an extra 460 m. His 1936
time of 9 min 03.8 sec stood as an Olympic record until 1952.
