Swimming at the 1960 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metre backstroke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's 100 metre backstroke event at the 1960 Olympic Games took place between August 30 and 31.[1] This swimming event used backstroke. Because an Olympic-size swimming pool is 50 metres long, this race consisted of two lengths of the pool.
