Description: I'm finding it hard to convey to you 21st century ebayers just how colossal an upset Billy Mills pulled off in Tokyo 60 years ago when he defeated world record holder Ron Clarke of Australia in the Olympic 10,000 meter run. It seems that the unassuming 26 year old Oglala-Lakota Native American from South Dakota was completely unknown even to most Americans. His victory is still, to this day, one of the most improbable upsets in all of Olympic history. This listing is for a gorgeous 8x10 photo of Billy's moment of triumph. It has been boldly and beautifully signed in person by Billy along with the inscription "Olympic 10K Gold!" And crucially, Billy's autograph has been authenticated by Beckett and includes their ironclad hologram sticker. Simply a treasure for any runner!
