1972 Munich Olympics - Mens 4x100m Relay
Athletics - 1972 Munich Olympics - Mens 4x100m Relay Final
The USAs Gerald Tinker, far right, hands over the baton to teammate Eddie Hart to run the final leg and win the gold medal in a World Record time of 38.19s in the Olympiastadion, Munich, West Germany.
From right to left: Tinker passes to Hart for the USA, Italys Luigi Benedetti passes the baton to Pietro Mennea, Frances Gerard Fenouil passes to Bruno Cherrier, the USSRs Yuri Silov passes to Valerie Borzov, Polands Jerzy Czerbniak passes to Zenon Nowosz, East Germanys Hans-Juergen Bombach passes to Siegfried Schenke, and West Germanys Gerhard Wucherer passes to Klaus Ehl
The USSR won the silver, West Germany the bronze, East Germany finished 5th, Poland 6th, France 7th and Italy 8th.
It was a bittersweet feeling for Hart, a favourite for the individual 100m title who was disqualified after failing to turn up for his quarter-final heat after being given the wrong time
