Remember when? The marathon in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics came all the way to Oakleigh East? 26.2 miles, run on a hot 38c Melbourne day and won by France's Alain Mimoun. And the halfway point for the marathon was right here outside the Princes Highway Reserve. It's nearly 70 years ago, but does anyone remember the Melbourne Olympics? Let me know your memories or what your family told you about our Olympics. | Steve Dimopoulos MP

At the electrifying 1948 London Games, Arthur Wint made history, blazing to Jamaica’s very first Olympic gold in the 400 metres with a stunning 46.2-second finish, triumphing over teammate Herb McKenley! He followed up with a brilliant silver in the 800 metres, just behind American Mal Whitfield. A third medal seemed within reach, but heartbreak struck when Wint pulled a muscle in the 4 × 400 metres relay final. #trackandfield #legend #greatness #goldmedal #victory #olympics #champion #nostalgia
