The former world-record holder was the first world beater coached by the legendary Arthur Lydiard.
Murray Halberg, gold medalist in one of the most dramatic distance races in Olympic history and a four-time world-record holder, died in Auckland, New Zealand, on November 30. He was 89 years old.
Sir Murray Halberg became a runner after a rugby injury at age 17 left him with a disabled left arm, and he linked with coachafter disappointment in the 1956 Olympic 1500 meters. He was the first runner to attain world stardom under Lydiard’s guidance.
