Encyclopedia > George Baird

George Hetzel Baird (March 5, 1907 - September 4, 2004) was an American athlete, winner of gold medal in 4x400 m relay at the 1928 Summer Olympics.


Born in Grand Island, Nebraska, George Baird ran the opening leg in the gold medal winning American 4x400 m relay team at the Amsterdam Olympics, which set the new world record of 3.14.2.


Just a week after the Olympics, Baird set his second 4x400 m relay world record of 3.13.4, running again the opening leg in London.


After his running career, Baird worked as a puppeteer with his famous brother Bil Baird and as an assistant professor of education at New York University.


George Baird died in Rhinebeck, New York, aged 97.
