Sprinter Thane Baker, living in retirement in Granbury, won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash in 1952, and a silver (100 meters), a bronze (200 meters), and a gold as a member of the U.S. 400-meter relay in 1956.
Baker resolved the problem with a unique solution: He sought the help of a sculptor friend who, using the same plastic material employed by dentists to mold dentures, made casts of the medals and designed identical copies.
Even at that, Baker is not certain the lone gold medal he has is the one presented to him on the winner's stand 44 years ago in Melbourne.

ATHENS, Greece - If all goes well, Raleigh, N.C.-based Justin Gatlin and Shawn Crawford can bring home three Olympic sprint medals, a feat just three American runners have achieved in the last 50 years.
Carl Lewis did it in 1984, and you have to go back to Bobby Morrow and Thane Baker in 1956 to find the last time it was done before that.
Gatlin and Crawford, along with teammate Maurice Greene, the former world record-holder and defending Olympic champion, will open their Olympic bids in the first round and quarter-finals of the 100 meters on Saturday.
