There is no ground for the statement that Cierpinski "[...] was denied a chance of an unprecedented third Olympic marathon win by the Eastern Bloc boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics." He went under a cloud after the 1983 Helsinki World Championships, performing very poorly at Fukuoka 1983 and Tokyo 1984, and announcing his retirement from competitions shortly after the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Already before the boycott no expert thought him a real favourite to get any medal in the marathon. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.193.149.64|81.193.149.64]] ([[User talk:81.193.149.64|talk]]) 01:12, 28 December 2012 (UTC) |
