Filmtipp: John Walker – The 3.49,4 Man

Vorschau

Weiter geht es mit eine Dokumentation über 1500m Olympiasieger 1976 und Weltrekordler Sir John Walker.

On the eve of the 1976 Olympics, this Keith Quinn-scripted NZBC profile traces the career of champion athlete John Walker from a training averse teenager at the Manurewa Harrier Club to his world mile record triumph in Göteborg, Sweden. Walker still smarts from his second place to Filbert Bayi in the 1500m at the 1974 Commonwealth Games, but what are euphemistically referred to as „political implications“ (NZ sporting ties with South Africa) have prevented further match-ups — and will ultimately remove the Tanzanian from the race so keenly anticipated here.
