Sweden’s Arne Åhman had placed third at the 1946 European Championships, trailing Finland’s Valle Rautio, who won the title. Australia’s George Avery led the qualifiers and jumped 15.36 (50-4¾) in round one. But Åhman had jumped first in the final, and his 15.40 (50-6¼) led from the start, and was eventually the gold medal winning mark. Rautio would finish only sixth. The bronze went to Turkey’s Ruhi Sarialp, the only Olympic athletics medal won by a Turkish athlete in the 20th century.
