good talk

Lately there's been a lot of talk in the TV Media about Ducks.  I've been watching Sports for a long time and the most dramatic I've seen was the 1500 meters, the last event, in the Decathlon in the 1960 Rome Olympics.  Rafer Johnson and C.K. Yang who were teammates at UCLA coached by Ducky Drake dueled throughout the 2 days of the Decathlon with all coming down down to the final event.  Rafer of the USA was ahead of C.K. of Taiwan by 67 points but C.K.'s best was 18.2 seconds better than Rafer's best in the 1500 and Rafer was going to have to be within 10 seconds of C.K.'s time if he was going to win the Decathlon Olympic Gold Medal so it could have gone either way.  Throughout the 1500 the 2 exhausted men gave everything they had with C.K. desperately trying to pull ahead of Rafer by enough to win but Rafer stuck close and only lost to C.K. by 6 yards and 1.2 seconds to win the Decathlon Gold.  I was 13 when I saw this on TV and have yet to see its equal.
