A world record for marathon Judo was established in Wellington, October 6, 1975. I. Staples, B. Benson, D. Fitzpatrick, R. Tucker, R. Chicktong and G. Benett fought in pairs — 5 minutes on the mat and 10 minutes rest — for 60 hours, breaking the old record by five hours.
I remember it well. It was a great Judo event. As usual, Lofty (Bruce Benson) caused a stir by having an argument with th YMCA cook who barricaded himself in the kitchen. God bless Lofty. Ralph Chicktong
