Became the second man in history (after Abebe
Bikila) to double on the Olympic Marathon.
When he crossed the finish line in Montreal, a lap indicator showed "1".
Just to make sure, he ran the extra lap. When he finished it, he was
greeted by defending champion, and now silver medallist
Frank Shorter.
He would come first on a third Olympic Marathon course as well, in testing
the Sydney 2000 course.
