Deel 3 5 Voorwoord Zeer gaarne voldoe ik aan het verzoek van de heer Guno Hoen, om een bijdrage te leveren aan de completering van het boek ‘Onze Sporthelden’ deel III. Het vastleggen van de Surinaamse geschiedenis is een basisvoorwaarde op weg naar een eigen identiteit voor ons volk, c.q. de natie, op onder andere sportgebied. Het komt ook niet vaak voor dat de schrijver een topsporter is geweest. Vandaar hulde aan de schrijver, die werkelijk alles in stelling heeft gebracht teneinde deel III van zijn serie vóór het jaar 2000 te realiseren. Het Ministerie van Onderwijs en Volksontwikkeling, met name het Directoraat Sportzaken, heeft op de juiste wijze ingespeeld op de wensen van betrokkene en mag zich met trots mede-sponsor noemen van dit prachtig werkstuk dat tot in lengte van dagen zijn nut zal bewijzen. Als Directeur Sportzaken, tevens waarnemend Directeur Jeugdzaken, maar vooral als Bondscoach bij de Surinaamse Voetbal Bond, doe ik een dringend beroep op sportminnend Suriname, deze uitgave aan te schaffen en als nuttig naslagwerk een waardige plaats te geven in huis, school, bibliotheek en club.

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5. Bob Hayes (Florida A&M) 10.1 2. 2. Trenton Jackson (Illinois) 10.2 3. 7. Mel Pender (US-A) 10.3 4. 8. Gerry Ashworth (Striders) [10.4 –O] 10.3e 5. 6. Darel Newman (Fresno State) [10.4 – O] 10.3e 6. 1. Charlie Greene (Nebraska) 10.4 7. 3. Richard Stebbins (Grambling) 10.4e 8. 4. Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.
