Born in Corydon, Iowa, George Saling from the University of Iowa established himself as a world class hurdler during his senior year in 1932.
At first he won the NCAA Championships in 110 m hurdles, equalling the Percy Beard's world record of 14.2. At the AAU Championships, Saling lost in 110 m hurdles final to Jack Keller by 4 feet, but wot the 200 m hurdles title, thus earning a place in the Olympic team.
At the Los AngelesOlympic Games, Saling beat his main rival Beard at first in semi-final by 0.2 seconds and then again in the final by 0.1 seconds.
That would remain his last victory on the track, because George Saling was killed in a car accident in Missouri six months after the Olympic Games, aged only 23.
