but for today's post cut, allen johnson remembers one who showed the world a clean pair of heels at the 1960 olympic games. >> when the modern olympics team here, they play themselves out in an ancient setting and those 1960 games are best remembered for the marathon which finished in this place in the shadow of the coliseum. and among those lining up at the start was a small unknown ethiopian. the only thing remarkable about him at that moment was the fact that he had no shoes on. he was going to run the olympic marathon in bare feet. but this was baby bak irk la and he was about to show the world what he could do, shoe or no shoe. and there was some symbolic edge in what was going to happen. back in the days of the dictator loose lena, italian troops had occupied ethiopia, but here in rome in a new post-war italy, a -- he would steal the olympic show. the race was a runner's night in someplaces, soldiers lit the way with burning torches and the ethiopian destroyed the field. he broke the world record and won africa's first ever olympic gold medal. and in this place in the roman night,
