Tome 2 Éric Rocanières 2 2 8 L’essor des grands marathons populaires 1973-1981 La ligne de départ du marathon de New York est une espèce de bombe à retardement géante prête à exploser derrière toi. C’est le départ le plus spectaculaire en sport. Bill Rodgers Le titre de Frank Shorter à Munich, le premier remporté par un Américain depuis les Jeux Olympiques de 1908, va avoir un grand retentissement aux Etats-Unis. L’intérêt pour la course de fond, déjà avéré depuis quelques années, se confirme. On assiste à la naissance du jogging, course pour tous, à allure libre sans objectif réel de performance. Les effets sont immédiats ; les pelotons des marathons de grandes villes se gonflent brutalement et régulièrement au fil des ans : hommes et femmes courent ensemble. Ainsi, à New York, on passe d’une grosse centaine de participants au tout début de la décennie à plusieurs milliers à l’orée des années 80. Le niveau d’ensemble progresse forcément, surtout en Amérique du Nord. Les performances en 2 :10 voire moins deviennent de plus en plus communes. Avec l’apparition de primes, les meilleurs deviennent de véritables stars de la route. Les medias s’intéressent donc à ces grandes courses qui consacrent de grands champions. Désormais une victoire à Boston ou à New York vaut mieux qu’un titre national. 2 3 Cependant, en Europe, l’évolution est moins sensible. L’athlétisme traditionnel résiste encore. Pourtant des mouvements tels que le Spiridon en France et en Suisse contribue à insuffler cet état d’esprit de course en liberté. Les grandes capitales européennes tentent peu à peu d’imiter les courses américaines. Désormais on entre dans le monde moderne… 1973 : une année de transition, sauf en France L’année 1973 est une année de transition. Il n’y a pas de grands championnats intercontinentaux ou continentaux et les performances repassent au dessus des 2 :11. Frank Shorter domine toujours la discipline même si John Farrington lui vole la vedette en haut du classement annuel. L’intérêt sportif provient donc, comme autrefois de quelques grands marathons annuels qui rassemblent les meilleurs coureurs mondiaux. En revanche, sur le plan de la participation, le marathon se porte bien car le nombre d’épreuves augmente toujours : plus de trois cents de par le monde. De même, certaines courses comme Boston dépassent allègrement le millier de participants. Enfin on rencontre de plus en plus de femmes au sein des pelotons et leurs performances sont en hausse. Marathons américains : La victoire de Frank Shorter aux Jeux de Munich marqua un déclic aux Etats-Unis. A Boston, un Américain mit un terme à la domination étrangère de ces dernières années. Cela prouvait que la pratique de la course pour la santé et le jogging pouvaient faire émerger des champions aussi bien que la pratique plus élitiste rencontrée en Europe. En ce 16 avril, il faisait chaud entre Hopkinton et Boston : 25° à l’ombre. Malgré tout 1384 coureurs prirent le départ et une foule colossale longeait la route. Le premier à prendre les affaires en mains fut l’Allemand de l’Ouest vainqueur du Maxol international marathon en 1972, Lutz Philipp. Il mena jusqu’à mi-course avec quelques 200 mètres d’avance sur ses poursuivants. L’Américain Tom Fleming le passa alors ; Philipp fléchit et plongea dans le classement : il devait finir loin, 11e en 2 :25 :04. Cependant Fleming ne put faire un écart décisif sur son compatriote Jon 4 2 Peter Anderson, le Gallois Bernard Plain et le Finlandais Olavi Suomalainen, le vainqueur sortant. Fleming et Plain cédèrent les premiers puis ce fut le tour du Finlandais dans la deuxième des trois côtes de Newton. Jon Peter Anderson se retrouva donc en tête et malgré un passage à vide dans les deux derniers miles, il ne fut plus inquiété et remporta sa plus grande victoire. Il franchit la ligne en 2 :16 :03, devant Tom Fleming, en 2 :17 :46. Celui-ci finit fort et reprit Olavi Suomalainen, 3e en 2 :18 :21 et Bernard Plain, 4e en 2 :21 :01. La 5e place revint à Jeff Galloway en 2 :21 :27. Chez les féminines, Jacqueline Hansen l’emporta en 3 :05 :59, ce qui la classait 326e au général. Elle devança de peu Nuna Kuscsik, 2e en 3 :06 :30. Né le 12 octobre 1949, Jonathan Peter Anderson 1.87 m pour 72 kg) était un jeune diplômé de 24 ans dont le père était maire d’Eugene. Etant objecteur de conscience alors que la guerre du Vietnam touchait à sa fin, il effectua des travaux d’intérêt général dans un hôpital. Il décrocha une sélection pour le 10000 m des Jeux Olympiques de 1972 où il fut sorti en série (28 :34.2). Anderson continua sa pratique athlétique jusque dans les années 80. Courant à la fois sur piste, en cross et sur route, il réalisa 13 :45.8 sur 5000 m en 1972, 28 :34.2 sur 10000 en 1972, finit 10e des championnats du monde de cross en 1977 et fixa son meilleur chrono sur le marathon à Eugene en 1980 : 2 :12 :03. Le 30 septembre, 395 coureurs dont 12 femmes se retrouvèrent dans Central Park pour la quatrième édition du marathon de New York. Marathon populaire par excellence, le plus jeune concurrent n’avait que 12 ans et le plus vieux, 80. Tom Fleming, étudiant de 22 ans à Paterson et 2e du marathon de Boston au printemps précédent, s’imposa en 2 :21 :55. Il courut plusieurs tours avec le docteur Norbert Sander avant de se détacher. Chez les femmes, Nina Kuscsik finit 1ere en 2 :57 :07 devant Katherine Switzer, précurseur du marathon féminin, en 3 :16 :02. Marathons japonais : Frank Shorter gagna deux des plus grands marathons japonais. Le 18 mars, à Otsu, lors du Lake Biwa Mainichi marathon, il l’emporta avec la manière en 2 :12 :03, battant le record du parcours détenu par Bill Adcocks en 2 :13 :47 depuis 1970. Cinquante-cinq coureurs étaient au départ de ce 2 5 marathon très relevé, dont deux seuls étrangers, les Américains John Vitale et Frank Shorter. Ils prirent tous les deux la tête dès le départ au stade Ojiyama et ils restèrent ensemble jusqu’au 15e kilomètre. Là, Frank Shorter dut s’arrêter quelques secondes pour satisfaire à un besoin naturel. Vitale se retrouva donc en tête. Mais le champion olympique le reprit au 19e kilomètre. Dès lors Shorter fit une course solitaire jusqu’à l’arrivée. C’était sa cinquième victoire d’affilée sur marathon. A l’arrivée, il manifesta de la joie mais il estimait qu’il aurait pu courir plus vite que ses 2 :12 :03, s’il avait été moins esseulé. Derrière lui, John Vitale avait un peu craqué et avait terminé 4e en 2 :16 :15. Dans le dernier quart de course, il s’était fait passer par Yoshinobu Kitayama, 2e en 2 :13 :24 et par Yoshiaki Unetani, 3e en 2 :15 :53. Frank Shorter récidiva le 2 décembre en remportant pour la troisième fois de rang le marathon de Fukuoka. Le champion olympique mena à nouveau la course de bout en bout et boucla le marathon en 2 :11 :45, faisant preuve d’une très grande régularité dans des chronos de cette valeur. Deux autres coureurs invités l’accompagnèrent sur le podium : le Canadien Brian Armstrong, 2e en 2 :13 :44 et l’Allemand de l’Est Eckhard Lesse, 3e en 2 :13 :54. Le vainqueur de Boston, Jon Peter Anderson termina 4e en 2 :16 :03. Le premier coureur japonais ne finit que 5e : Kenichi Otsuki en 2 :16 :18. Katsuyoshi Sakemi se classa 6e en 2 :18 :16 devant un jeune de 20 ans dont on reparlerait : Takeshi So, 7e en 2 :19 :08. Marathons anglais : Le Maxol international marathon de Manchester avait désormais surpassé le Poly Marathon de par le nombre de participants, 221 pour cette 18e édition et de par le niveau de performance. Certes les Britanniques sélectionnés aux Jeux de Munich manquaient à l’appel : Ron Hill, Don McGregor et Colin Kirkham ; de même Dave Bedford, bien qu’il fût inscrit, ne prit pas le départ. Mais la concurrence étrangère était forte et l’Allemand de l’Est Eckhard Lesse, dont on vient de parler, améliora de 15 secondes le temps de Ron Hill établi en 1971 : il triompha en 2 :12 :25. Pourtant, il ne s’était jamais préoccupé du chrono. De fait, sur la fin, sachant qu’il ne battrait pas la meilleure performance mondiale de Clayton (2 :08 :34), il 6 2 n’avait pas forcé le rythme ; de même, lors de sa dernière ligne droite dans le stade d’Old Tafford, il avait laissé échapper quelques poignées de secondes pour savourer sa victoire et saluer la foule. Mais voyons le déroulement de la course. Le départ donné, de Saint Peter’s Square, le peloton partit prudemment ; il passa au 10e kilomètre en 32 :55, soit un rythme de 2 :18 à l’arrivée. Insensiblement cela avait accéléré : 47 :32 au 15e kilomètre et 1 :02 :35 au 20e, ce qui laissait présager un temps final de 2 :11. A ce stade de la course, Lesse, coureur à la foulée très économique, menait un groupe composé du Britannique Don Faircloth, du Sud-Africain Ferdinand Le Grange, du Canadien Brian Armstrong et des Japonais Yoshiaki Morita et Yoshinobu Kitayama.

  • NUTS NOTES Vol
    NUTS NOTES Vol. 18 No.3 June 1980 Editor: Tim Lynch-Staunton, Meadowbank, Eydens Avenue, Walton-on-Thamee, Surrey KT12 3 JP. This is the third issue of NUTS NOTES to go on sale to the general public* For the last twenty or so years it has been available to members of the NUTS on a quarterly basis, thanks mainly to the untiring efforts of Andrew Huxtable, who was editor for many years until last year. We hope this issue will be of interest to athletics fans, in particular those who like athletics' statistics, although it will not in future be entirely a statistical newsletter, and will encourage those who compile lists and other data for their own amusement to submit compilations for consideration for inclusion in future issues. T.L-S. BRITISH BEST PERFORMANCES OF ALL-TIME - 10 MILES (ROAD) One of the most frequently contested yet least documented distance events is the 10 miles. So far as I am aware, no one has previously attempted to produce an all- time list for road performances. There are, of course, certain inherent problems. It's an event which, like the marathon, is subject to considerable variation in the severity of courses; and it is sometimes difficult to establish for sure the accuracy of distance for races advertised as being at 10 miles. But there are several very good reasons for establishing a statistical record of the event. First, almost all top-class distance-runners contest it during their career. Second, it brings together trackmen, cross-country runners and marathoners. Third, it has also produced a significant number of performers who have not achieved major recognition in other events.

    0 INTRODUCTION I have attempted to write this article about the Association during its first 100 years in a manner which I hope will be found interesting. I have not used bibliographic indications, but have included a bibliography as an aid for anyone who might wish to write a more detailed history of the Association. Principal events in the Association's history, some of them serious, some of them less serious are mentioned. The main primary source material used has been the Minutes of the Association's meetings. Unfortunately the Minutes of the first 20 years and for the period from 1939 until 1954 are missing and therefore I was unable to comment in detail about these periods. From reading this article you will see that it was the policy of the Association to improve the management of athletic meetings and suppress the abuses which were very prevalent in its early years and to keep the sport within the amateur ranks. From this base the Association is now firmly established, I have no doubt there will be omissions and the occasional mistake of fact and for these I apologise. ROY MITCHELL HON. SECRETARY Date: March 1980 1 FOREWORD This History written to record the first 100 years of the Midland Counties Amateur Athletic Association has not been uneventful, in a sport which covers over 20 disciplines and caters for all. The fat, the thin, the short, the tall, any class, creed, politics or colour, a truly all embracing pastime for all. This admirable history compiled over many hours of work by Roy Mitchell shows not only the evolution of the sport in the Midlands, but the very beginnings of the Modern Olympic ideals from the observing of the Much Wenlock Olympics which had been running for over 150 years before the advent of modern athletics which we know today.

    Issue No: 390 October/November 2019 Editor: Dave Ainsworth CENTURIONS' SOCIAL WALK, EPPING FOREST, SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER We will meet at Loughton rail station at 10.00 am for a 6 miles' stroll around Epping Forest. The walk will be led by local resident Richard Howard and conclude with a visit to a tea room, back near Loughton High Street. Toilets are available at the station (Central Line), which has an NCP car park - cost for Saturday is £3. Any questions, phone Steve Kemp on 07860-617899. Adds Hon Ed: It's open to all, not just Centurions, plus family members and friends. It's an enjoyable social walk - not a race! It's also an opportunity for our local Essex/Home Counties' race walking scene to come together for an enjoyable social day out. Let's see a good turnout - as all are welcome! Loughton Rail Station post code is IG10 4PD. Bus routes to Loughton Station: 20 (Walthamstow Central-to-Debden taking in Leyton/Whipps Cross/Woodford Green), 167 (Ilford-to-Loughton Station taking in Gants Hill/BarkingsideGrange Hill/Chigwell/Buckhurst Hill) and 397 (Debden-to- Crooked Billet taking in Buckhurst Hill/Woodford Wells/Chingford). INTER-COUNTIES DOOM AND GLOOM Twice race walking has been thrown out of your annual CAU Inter-Counties' Championship meeting, owing to dismal turnouts. Pity, as our walks are part of a major track and field meeting before a crowd. Each time, we were then off the programme for some time, only being re- admitted after vigorous campaigning by Peter Cassidy, Laurie Kelly, Peter Marlow, Roger Mills and others.
