Waldemar Cierpinski wins his second Marathon - Moscow 1980 Olympics

[@olgakotova7265]

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!

[@ilyatoromanov]

Wow, It would be glorious be the son of the great runner.

[@theenglishalpinist5031]

So you should be, what a precious video for you!

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

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.

God bless you Waldemar Cierpinski. You are a true hero and a two time Olympic Champion! Even now in 2020 you are an inspiration and always will be!

[@franzleiermann4955]

Koch, Göhr, Cierpinski, all a disgrace to sports and olympic character. Honecker was a criminal and murderer, nothing more. You should be ashamed.
