Peter Snell had ran 5 races for the 800-m and the 1500-m, in which he won gold, in the 8 days leading up to the Olympic 1500-m final. His teammate John Davies joined with him in the 1500-m race. The race was intense and Peter won gold whilst getting a time of 3 minutes and 38.1 seconds, almost breaking a world record created by Herb Elliot. His teammate John completed 3rd making the triumphant because two flags were raised during the Olympic medal ceremony.
