Waldemar Cierpinski wins his second Marathon - Moscow 1980 Olympics

Highlights as Waldemar Cierpinski wins Gold in the Men's Marathon during the Moscow 1980 Olympic Games.
After being left slightly behind the leading pack that had set an initial fiercely fast pace, Waldemar Cierpinski from East Germany was able to pass the leaders around the 36 kilometre mark.
Once Cierpinski passed the pack he kept his position and took his number 297 bib through the finish line to claim the gold medal.
As the East German had also won the marathon in the Montreal 1976 Olympic Games, he equalled the feat of marathon legend Abebe Bikila who had won two Olympic gold medals in Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964.

WOW, my dad finished 4th (Vladimir Kotov no.709). Thank you for posting this video, it's the first time i've seen him finish so clearly. Very proud!

Your dad should have won the bronze. Cierpinski was doped up on steroids. The whole East German team was. Stasi files proved it.

Cierpinski was a dope user(he admitted) just as so many DDR sporters. Gerard Nijboer is the olympic winner! He finished second.

[@promarcelo]

He NEVER admitted...

[@minavamp2811]

back then eop was not used. steroids would not benefit runner in long distances.

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Just as Frank Shorter is the TRUE Olympic champion of the 1976 marathon. Cierpinski knows it too.

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

@@promarcelo He knows he was a doped up cheat in both the 1976 and 1980 Olympics. He's too much of a coward to admit it (he's refused all interview requests), but the Stasi files are there as proof that he was doped at both Olimpiads. It's his shame to bare. He knows very well that the whole world knows. He also knows that the true Olympic champion of the Montreal Olympics is Frank Shorter. And he knows who the TRUE 1980 Olympic champion is too! He's a fake. An impostor. A cheat.

[@Finarphin]

@@minavamp2811 Yes they do. They decrease recovery. Without steroids a user told me he could work out hard once every other day. With steroids you can work out hard three times a day and feel like a bear.

Cierpinski won Gold in '76 at Montreal and again in Moscow in 1980,both times dishonestly,blood doping.I merely wanted to make the point that Waldemar's 2 wins were tainted; he cheated and should not be extolled and heralded as a hero in any way,shape and form.Franks Shorter did it the right way,always did and I think the greatest overall distance runner ever in America,excelling from the two mile ,5k,10k to the marathon.
