Press had succeeded Bystrova as world record holder in 1959, and had set seven world records (of which five were ratified) in the intervening five years. The two set the pace, as expected, with times of 10.7 in the hurdles, and Press then set up an unassailable lead with her shot put of 17.16, just 5cm off her best. At the end of the first day she led with 3245 ahead of Bystrova (3055) and Rand (2917), with the Briton’s score severely diminished by a shot of only 11.05. Rand recovered to jump 1.72 and then 6.55 in her speciality, though the best effort, relatively speaking, was from Hoffman who jumped 6.44, which would have been good enough for bronze in the individual event. Rand’s efforts, which bettered Press in three of the five events were not enough to prevent the 25 year-old Russian from setting her final world record in the pentathlon. Bystrova was third, well ahead of Peters, who just edged hurdler Stamejčić for fourth.
