Marathon Distance. The Marathon is measured in miles, at 26 miles 385 yards, not in kilometers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missaeagle (talk • contribs) 04:58, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rumor

Jim McKay was giving a history of the marathon in I believe the 1984 games, and said that Dorando had been using amphetamines and that along with the dehydration are what did him in. I could believe it, I think a lot of athletes have always used things like that back when they were regarded as harmless, but is there any record that he did? I found confirmation in several books for McKay's statement that Pietri nearly died subsequent to the race, but that this had to do with his heart actually having been displaced (wow). Today of course you have to fill out a ton of paperwork and have it approved by six dozen officials before you can take an aspirin. --Bluejay Young (talk) 23:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Madison Square Garden

The article mentions Dorando being in an exhibition race in Madison Square Garden in 1908. This is 60 years before it was built! I wonder when/where this actually occurred. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.210.161.107 (talk) 13:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC) The third Madison Square Garden opened in 1925 to 1968 was at 50th st. and 8th Avenue right across the street from Jack Dempsey's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missaeagle (talk • contribs) 04:56, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's been four MSG's throughout history, two in 1879 and 1890. 184.96.198.192 (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
