Armin Hary (German pronunciation: [ˈaʁmiːn ˈhaːʁi] ; is a retired German sprinter who won the 1960 Olympic 100 meters dash. He was the first non-American to win the event since Percy Williams of Canada took the gold medal in 1928, the only German to ever win the event in the history of the Olympics, the first man to run 100 meters in 10.0 seconds and the last White man to establish a world record in 100 meters dash. Armin Hary (West Germany) set the men's 100 m world record of 10.0 in Zürich, Switzerland on June 21, 1960. It stood 24 days, until Harry Jerome's 10.0 on July 15, 1960 (equalling it). Wiki link
