30 years ago, Queenslanders witnessed something special, when the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games Marathon was held on the streets of Brisbane.
Running icon, Robert de Castella took the gold medal in a true display of Aussie determination and grit. 'Deek' overcame Tanzanian runner Ikangaa to win in a time of 2:09:18. A mere 12 seconds separated the two over the marathon distance and was earmarked one of the most exciting spectacles in history.
