From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inge Simonsen (born 1 July 1953) is a Norwegian distance runner who tied for first place in the inaugural 1981 London Marathon. In that race, he and the other winner, American Dick Beardsley, intentionally crossed the finish line, in 2:11:48, holding hands in a dead heat.[1] According to Beardsley, "It was a big deal for both of us because neither one of us had won a marathon before."[2]
