This month's (April) "Big Event" was a world record that was set on this date 54 years ago by an athlete who would go on to win a compete set (gold, silver, and bronze) of Olympic medals.
The event has nothing to do with the hurdles.
Our "Big Event", which was set on this date some 54 years ago, was set in a city which would go on to host the Olympic Games about 46 years after this "Big Event".
You might know that the athlete that set this world record shares the same initials with the wife of the "Thin Man" (character's name and not the actress' name).
About six months after setting this world mark, the athlete won an Olympic bronze medal and four years later won an Olympic gold medal.
Can you name the event, the athlete, and the city where this record took place?
Extra credit if you can give the exact mark set on this date 54 years ago.
Good luck.
