Flipping around on television last night, I flipped past an ad on channel 549 (I have star choice satellite), and saw an ad for a show coming up next Tuesday the 10th of Jan. at 9pm about the Rosy Ruiz Boston Marathon scandal. Here is what I picked off the net:

?ANYTHING TO WIN,? GSN?S FIRST WEEKLY DOCUMENTARY SERIES PREMIERES JANUARY 10 WITH A SPECIAL TWO-HOUR EPISODE
FOCUSED ON ROSIE RUIZ AND THE BOSTON MARATHON

Ruiz Gives Her First On-Camera Interview Since the 1980 Scandal
(Santa Monica, CA) ? Throughout the history of human competition, people have gone to great lengths for the glory and prestige of victory. GSN, the network for games, will tell stories of individuals? often-unbelievable attempts to win in a signature weekly hour-long documentary series, ANYTHING TO WIN. ANYTING TO WIN premieres Tuesday, January 10 at 9:00 PM ET/PT with a special two-hour episode on Rosie Ruiz and the Boston Marathon Scandal.

ANYTHING TO WIN will spotlight those who have pushed the limits ? some to success, others to failure. The topics will run the gamut: from Bobby Fischer, the greatest chess player of his generation, to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnnie Cochran, men who rose from humble beginnings to reset the standards for achievement in their respective fields. ANYTHING TO WIN will also tell the tales of competitions gone awry, such as the Tonya Harding saga, or outright cheating such as the Pennsylvania Lottery Scandal.

The first topic to be presented in the series is the story of Rosie Ruiz, a 26-year-old New Yorker who was the first woman to cross the finish line in the Boston Marathon in 1980, a year of great significance for the Marathon as the U.S. was boycotting the Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Minutes after her victory where ?she came out of nowhere,? race officials questioned her record-setting finish time for several reasons, not the least of which was the fact that her presence had not been noted at any of the race?s official checkpoints. Days later, Ruiz was stripped of her title and Jacqueline Gareau was declared the winner.

For the first time since 1980, Ruiz gives an on-camera interview exclusively on ANYTHING TO WIN and tells the world her side of the story. Also interviewed are Gareau, men?s winner Bill Rodgers, race officials and reporters who broke the unbelievable story more than two decades ago.


Anyway, a documentery for those of you who might be interested. If you have starchoice, then it is channel 549.


The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet.

Hi TB, In fact, I have to record it, as I am working that night. So, yep, consider it recorded.
