- 2 September 1960 Golden day for Kiwi runners in Rome
Listen to a radio commentary of the gold medal runs by Peter Snell (800 m) and Murray Halberg (5000 m) at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Halberg's victory followed just half an hour after Snell's, completing New Zealand's finest day on the Olympic track.
