Time in 64 Olympic marathon[edit]

The article reports Robson's time in the 64 Olympic marathon as 2:17. This time is reported from Robson's own words as reported in source 1

Ellina Mhlanga, 'Former Olympian gets second chance', The Herald (Harare), 4 March 2011

However, the Official Olympic report at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1964_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_marathon

reports that Robson ran 2:49:30 in this race.

By the way, Mathias Kanda, the other Zimbabwean/Rhodesian in the race that day also reports a much faster time than the one he is credited as having. (see "The Bulawayo Chronicle (Supplement), April 7 2001"). It is possible they were not told their actual times that day.
