Marty was a great commentator for distance running. As far as American commentators for distance running go, I say he is the best. But he was wrong about an Englishman winning the Chicago Marathon at 16:10 onward. Joseph Nzau of Kenya beat Hugh Jones of Great Britain by half a second.
rod dixon, a great guy, a great man, a great champion, i was 13 years old when i watched this, brilliant race and finish
I remember watching this first time around and all the running magazines at the time had that finish line image on the cover, thanks for uploading.
Rest in peace Grete.
Wow. How the TV coverage has changed.
Great run Rod
Is that the "SMITH" that won 2 BOSTON MARATHONS ??

Next time try running the tangent Mr. Smith. Please?
He lost because he didn't drink anything except water. you can't survive at that level throwing drinks away.
His hamstring bothered him
no fans in the Bronx?!😄
"@GeoAce777" this was the earlier times of the 5-borough NYC Marathon. I think TV coverage of it was relatively new.
Horrible call as usual Marty
