In the Trust Games, some debts were settled. Sweden's Nils Engdahl, eliminated early at the Paris Olympics, triumphed over Norway's Charles Hoff in the 440-yard race. Engdahl clocked 49.4 seconds, narrowly beating Hoff's 49.7.
In the longer distance event, a solid race unfolded. Adriaan Paulen, who had also been eliminated in the 800-meter heats in Paris, bested France's René Wiriath.
Edvin Wide claimed victory in the 5,000 meters with a respectable time of 15:05.4. However, Olympic marathon champion and recent 30,000-meter world record holder Albin Stenroos was not in form, losing the 20,000-meter race to Sweden’s Gustaf Mattson.
