Description: In the first of two vignettes a crowd roars and a commentator announces that Peter Snell has set a new world record. In the second vignette Peter Snell is presented with a banner by a representative from the N.Z.

In January 1962 Snell broke the world mile record before a huge crowd at Cooks Gardens in Wanganui, and one week later set new world records for both the 800 m and 880 yd at Christchurch. He then won gold and set a new record for 880 yd at the Commonwealth Games in Perth in 1962, and won gold for the mile at those same games. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
