General Information
Description
Roger Moens is a former Belgian middle distance runner. At the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome he won a silver medal. He also was the person to break Rudolf Harbig's long-standing world record over 800 meters. Moens earned a degree in criminology. Later, he was employed by the Belgian judicial police. He also was a sports commentator for many years for BRT television. On August 3, 1955, in the Bislett Stadium in Oslo, Moens improved Rudolf Harbig?s 16-year-old 800-meter world record of 1:46.6, running 1.45.7. The race was a titanic struggle with Norwegian Audun Boysen, who finished second just two-tenths of a second behind and also under the world record. Moens' global record would stand for seven years, until it was improved in 1962 by New Zealander Peter Snell. As a Belgian record it stood for 20 years until broken in 1975 by Ivo Van Damme, who ran 1:45.31. On August 8, 1956, Moens along with his teammates set a world record in the 4 x 800 meter relay with a time of 7.15.8. Yet he did not go to the Melbourne Olympic Games, which took place in November.
