Vorschau

In this TVNZ doco — made for the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games — Keith Quinn looks back at the last time the Games were hosted in New Zealand: Christchurch 1974. Largely an on-field survey peppered with Kiwi athletes’ memories of ‘The Friendly Games’, moments featured include Dick Tayler’s 10,000m victory sprawl, weightlifter Graham May’s face-plant, and the epic 1,500 race between a long-haired John Walker and Tanzanian Filbert Bayi. The NZBC coverage showcased colour television, which had recently launched in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Herald | In their words: The race that stopped a nation

How is it I can run the fifth fastest time in history and finish fourth in a race?
I stood there in total amazement. I walked off the track and someone called to me, ‚loser‘. I thought, ’shit, come on, I ran the fifth fastest time in history. I know I finished fourth but was only three steps away from winning. How can I be a loser?‘ In fourth place you don’t get any prizes. I experienced that again in ’76. Fourth is not a good place. — Rod Dixon
