 |
800m runner Ralph Doubell was one of the stars of Australia's 1968 Olympic team. Not rated highly before the Games, Doubell ran impressively in Mexico City, setting a new personal best - and Australian Record - in the semi finals of his pet event. In the final, he improved further to equal Peter Snell's World Record of 1-44.3 (later rounded to 1-44.40) and win the Gold Medal. Thirty-five years later, no Australian since has approached Doubell's record time. |
