Forty Years Ago Today

[Roy 5]

Today is the 40th birthday of a former world record holder in a running event. He is an American who won a silver medal in this event in the Olympics. He also owns a gold medal from the Olympics (relay). Can you name him?

doesn't gotta be - but it is! Did you know that without looking it up? Very impressive.

Re: Forty Years Ago Today

The description fit perfectly, and the age was about right, and I couldn't think of anyone else who fit, so I figured it had to be he. (But yes, I did then look up his DOB before posting it.)
