Sorry I wasn't logged in when I did it, but I have deleted the reference to Ben Eastman being the world record holder at the time of the 1932 Olympics. As the table at the bottom of the page makes clear, Sera Martin held the record. Tommy Hampson broke this record and his performance was subsequently equalled by Eastman. Glenn Cunningham then broke the record. Cottonshirt (talk) 04:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
