Lots of hard luck at the 1960 100m final. The holding pin on Peter Radford's blocks snapped at the start, giving him almost no push off the blocks at all. He basically gave everyone, including Hary a two metre start and then ran the final fifty faster than anyone in history to finish a 100th of a second down in 3rd.
That is bullshit. If you watched the final properly you would have seen that Hary reacted from the start as fast as another US- Sprinter. He jumped out of the block and gained advantage during the first meters of acceleration. Hary was the world record holder and once he ran twice 10s flat during a meeting in germany, the second time alone, because the jury thought of measure fault. He was quick as hell, that is the truth.
Hary cramped in this race and allthought of this he wins. Sorry, the favorite was Harry not Sime. Harry was the world record holder with 10,0 - some clocks did show 9,9. Hary here at the olympics he was under enorme pressure, with the form of his world record running in Zürich here he world run faster, perhaps 10,1.
Armin Harry....german Hero of 1960....i saw that live on tv back then...i was 8 years old....but i found it great....as a german of course....haha....and the german girls in paris 2024 did even better in the 4 x 100 meters....against the "super" opposition from "elsewhere"...cheers.

I wonder if they changed the rules and the athletes could pass the baton where they decided. That would see most disqualifications disappear and bring in an element of tactics.
musik102, thanks for the thought provoking comment....like the team could be comprised of a Houston McTear running a 60m 1st leg.....Bob Hayes running a 120m 2nd leg.....Jim Hines running a 100m 3rd leg....and Carl Lewis bringing it home by running a 120m final leg....and pass it anywhere.....it seems like it would make the relays more competitive....cuz tactics would be heavily involved. Food for thought in a world that offers very little....and we at ImaSportsphile web page love it!!!!
I know it was a series in the 1970's produced by Bud Greenspan and I recognize the voice of the narrator but don't know his name.It was called THE OLYMPIAD.
I remember this; saw it television, and then the Italians came out with a movie about the entire Olympics. Hary talked trash, and won the race. Sime became a doctor afterwards. What did Hary become?
Hary was the son of a miner and a trained precision-engineer. When he retired in 1961 age 24, after quarrelling with the German federation, he made a career in real estate. In June 2023 he was still alive, aged 86.
Who is Sime? The first time I heard his name and he talks here and telling he was better than the Great Armin Harry. Hey Sime, I have a bad news for you. Harry was the first man running the 100 m under ten seconds. How did you miss this news?
I can understand his anger towards Norton, I don't think Sime comes across as bad at all. Considering the frustration of missing Melbourne, then narrowly being beaten in the 100m and when you finally think you've secured an Olympic Gold, you lose it because of the fault of someone else. It must have been soul-destroying.
Apparently not a particular decent person in his later life or to his direct family ...looks like armin hary did him more damage than he thought ....Dave sime is disingenuous to an opponent which lacks class ....

I don't know what video you were watching Ron Powell but your comment is completely inaccurate . . . . Radford made up ground on Figuerola but NOT on Hary. Hary beat him every time they raced [twice in 1958 and once in 1960] BTW Radford and Jones passed the baton OUTSIDE the box in the 4x 100 relay final and Britain were VERY fortunate not to be disqualified as well
Sime closed better than Radford, he would have caught Hary before Radford. The interesting thing was despite his strong finish here, he faded in his 200m semi and missed the final.
Wrong this guy ran 10.00 on a cinder track Mathew Boling ran 10.11 legal at his best on a modern track which would put him at about a 10.61 vs 10.00 on the cinder track so no Mathew Boling isn't faster
@@hoytsigman6791 If you ever ran on cinder tracks and on tartan tracks you would know that the difference is not that great. Tartan maybe slightly faster. Maybe the same as cinder.Difference today is pro athletics. More, and different training. So, 10 sec or 10.1 not 10.6. Cinder not as slow as you think.
I have watched this video 167 times and have reached this scientific conclusion. The one guy in the crazy hat and the guy in the boat with the receding and messing hair in would have been different if that they both in modern tennis shoes called PF Flyers broke 10 seconds in 9.91 seconds. Trust Science!
Not true since his electronic time was actually 10.25 a little faster than Jesse Owens which was 10.3 in 1936 also Bolt isn't a clown he's been training all his life to run 19.19 and 9.58 there's a reason he's the fastest
This guy, David Sime, is Christian McCaffreys grandpa. CMC is the best running back in THE NFL

Hary beat Sime in the quarter-finals, semi -finals and final at the Rome Olympics . . . . .how many times did he need to get beaten to get the message
Jon Konrads That’s bull shit and you know it. Sime was the better sprinter and was f’d over from 2 gold medals.

You can vary a bit due to the 10m exchange box. I was encouraged to try and run a 115m 3rd leg in the relay at school.

Does anyone know the name of the narrator of this video?

@@larciabella Thanks!
I remember this; saw it television, and then the Italians came out with a movie about the entire Olympics. Hary talked trash, and won the race. Sime became a doctor afterwards. What did Hary become?
Is that important ? Does the fact you became a doctor you were better in Rome 1960 ? Hary was faster !
Hary was the son of a miner and a trained precision-engineer. When he retired in 1961 age 24, after quarrelling with the German federation, he made a career in real estate. In June 2023 he was still alive, aged 86.

But Still Hary was. It does not mean you are a doctor you are faster @@stoolpigeon4285

Hary sounds like Bolt of 1960.
Trash talking but still winning!!!!!
Who is Sime? The first time I heard his name and he talks here and telling he was better than the Great Armin Harry.
Hey Sime, I have a bad news for you. Harry was the first man running the 100 m under ten seconds. How did you miss this news?
Who is the narrator of this video?
David Perry, aka, David Greenspan (Bud's brother), my favorite.
Dave "Sim"???
Yes, Sime (pronouinced Sim) is the Gaelic form of Simon
Sime...looks bad in this interview...blaming Norton...wonder if he realizes how much animosity Norton had for him!
I can understand his anger towards Norton, I don't think Sime comes across as bad at all. Considering the frustration of missing Melbourne, then narrowly being beaten in the 100m and when you finally think you've secured an Olympic Gold, you lose it because of the fault of someone else.

Not only blaming Norton but blaming Hary, too. Disgusting.
@@bruchland Yes. Full of Bitterness. It's a pity.
@@rainerhenniger3689 What a bad looser Sime was. Norton wasn't the only one who crossed the foul line, the us 4x100 m relay teams did it often.
Hary...goldene reiter!
When white sprinters dominated. It was a diffident world
Apparently not a particular decent person in his later life or to his direct family ...looks like armin hary did him more damage than he thought ....Dave sime is disingenuous to an opponent which lacks class ....
Harry was a higher class opponent for Sime, thats why he beat Sime when ever was important.

Peter Radford a very fast finisher was closing down on Armin Harry and had there been another 10mts - many say Peter would have won the Gold.
If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts.....it is the 100m dash....not 110m dash!!!
