JOSEPH FORSHAW, MARATHON RUNNER by Christine Forshaw O'shaughnessy JOSEPH FORSHAW, MARATHON RUNNER by Christine Forshaw O'Shaughnessy London, late afternoon, July 24, 1908: the last moments of the Marathon. The crowd had waited in the withering heat for hours, and their frenzy over this final event of Olympiad IV had reached a fever pitch. "I shall never forget my first impression of the crowd cheering wildly as I entered the stadium. It was the most wonderful sight I ever saw." (Joseph Forshaw, bronze medalist [2:57:10.4]) Joseph FORSHAW, of the United States, would ever after describe the last two minutes of this race as the "zenith" of his athletic career. Fifty-five years later, he would still remember vividly the huge stadium looming before him, the momentary dark- ness of the entrance tunnel, and then, pounding into the late afternoon light on the track, the deafening roar rolling up around him from the multitude. He always said that the noise almost had the quality of dead silence, so great was its impact on his senses. Entering the stadium packed with that hysterical Joseph and screaming throng, with Dorando PIETRI'S FORSHAW in desperate struggle finished, FORSHAW was less 1904 Event than two minutes behind John HAYES, the winner, in St. Louis in time to be running on the track with both HAYES and Charles HEFFERON (second) before the winner "I was next to the last man to leave Windsor. crossed the finish line.
