(Stars and Stripes) TOKYO — In one of sporting history’s greatest upsets, a 26-year-old crewcut Marine lieutenant, Billy Mills, ran an Olympic record 28:24.4 10,000 meters to take gold in Tokyo on Oct. 14, 1964. “10,000-Meter Thriller — MILLS SCORES UPSET” proclaimed the front page of Stars and Stripes following the race. The story described the victory — the first by the United States at that distance — as “one of the biggest shocks ever” and said nobody expected the young Marine to beat the favorite, Australian world-record holder Ron Clarke.
