Emil Zátopek began his illustrious Olympic career by running the 10,000m at the 1948 London Games. He took the lead during the tenth of 25 laps. Eventually he lapped all but two runners and won by more than 300m. Only three days later, Zátopek ran in the final of the 5,000m. At the start of the final lap, he trailed Gaston Reiff of Belgium by 50m. Zátopek thrilled the crowd with a sprint1 that pulled him closed and closer. Reiff noticed Zátopek just in time and won by 1? metres. Zátopek's feats2 in 1948 were impressive, but they were only a prelude3 to what he accomplished4 at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. He began by winning the 10,000m by 100m. In the 5,000m, he was in only fourth place with half a lap to go, but he sprinted5 into the lead in the final turn and won by five metres. Later that afternoon, Zátopek's wife, Dana, won a gold medal in the javelin6 throw. Zátopek himself was not finished. He entered the marathon even though he had never run one before. Nonetheless, he easily wore down all of the other runners and won by 2? minutes as the appreciative7 Finnish spectators chanted his name.
