Double 1960 Olympic Champion Otis Davis Dies At 92
"We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Otis Davis, our first Olympic gold medalist. He was a two-time Olympic champion (400, 4x400) at the 1960 Games in Rome and is one of the icons featured on the tower at Hayward Field," Oregon Track and Field posted on X late on Monday.
Davis only started running the 400m competitively at the age of 26 but the US athlete became an Olympic champion a couple of years later. He was the first man to break 45 seconds in the one-lap event when he ran 44.9 in that 1960 Olympic final to win ahead of Germany’s Carl Kaufmann in a photo finish, and he went on to anchor the US team to the Olympic 4x400m title.
