BRITISH 1972 Olympian Peter Marlow will end his 44-year association with the Games in Rio as he makes his eighth and final appearance.
The former race walker Marlow finished 17th in the 20km event at the infamous Munich Olympics, clocking 95:38, before going on to join the IAAF Race Walking Committee in 1976.
The 75-year-old has helped officiate at six Olympic Games, as a race judge in 1980 and 1988, as chief walking judge in 1992, 2004 and 2008, and as the race manager at the 2012 Games in London – his personal highlight from the half dozen total.
