The John Treacy Dungarvan 10 mile road road is coming up at the end of this month in West Waterford. With that in mind, it might be appropriate to look back at the 1984 Olympic Marathon in Los Angeles and the performance that put the man from Villierstown on the podium.
Great memories a true legend.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the video John, nostalgic and reminds us all of how good John T was indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great run by John Treacy. How many get an olympic silver for their first ever marathon?
