Oct. 10, 1954 - Chataway Beats Kuts In 5, 000 Metres Race At The White City: Britain's Chris Chataway last night won a great 5, 000 metre race against Vladimir Kuts, the Russian world and European record-holder, in a match between London and Moscow at the White City. He won by little more than a yard, and, to the delight of the 40, 000 spectators, he beat the world record by five seconds.
