Shadowy shot of athletes getting ready in the athletics stadium, next to high row of seated officials. Male athletes prepare for the start of the 800 metres final, as one athlete false starts. The race is re-started, and the athletes get away cleanly. Nice shot from behind the finish line as the athletes finish the race, with USA's Mal Whitfield finishing first, Jamaica's Arthur Wint in second, and Germany's Heinz Ulzheimer falling on the line as he dives to take third. Tighter shot of Ulzheimer as he is helped to his feet by a photographer. Medal ceremony, as Whitfield receives his gold medal, Whit his silver, and Ulzheimer his bronze. The three athletes face the flags for the national anthem. Slightly shaky but long shot of the scoreboard showing the result of the race.

Italy's Adolfo Consolini stands next to him in the silver medal position, and USA's James Dillion is in the bronze medal position. Nice shot of athletes as they stand for the national anthem, then wider shot of them on the podium, including officials and press.
