1985 Comrades Marathon Highlights(Part 2)

This is a tape of the Highlights of the 1985 Comrades Marathon as aired on Channel 9 Australia in 1985 on their "Wide World of Sports" programme. The Channel 9 Studio commentators are Mike Gibson(Career Sports Commentator) , Ian Chappell(Former captain of the Australian Cricket Team), and Max 'Tangles' Walker, former fast bowler in the Australian Cricket team. I've left the studio commentators in the clip, as a reminder of how these shows were actually conducted, and how certain sections of the Australian community viewed the Political situation in South Africa at the time.

the commentator is absolutely sensational: "who can really know, the sensations that this, the greatest ultra distance runner in the world, must be feeling as he enters the stadium?"

also the library music that the used is awesome.

anyway, a very cool clip, thanks for putting it up!
