New York/JTA — Marty Glickman,
a track star who believed he was
denied a chance to run in the 1936
Berlin
Olympics
because he
was Jewish
and who
later
became a
top sports
announcer,
died Jan. 3
at the age
of 83.
He died of

tions from
heart
surgery, according to one of his
daughters, Elizabeth Alderman.
Glickman claimed that the coach
in charge of the 400-meter relay
team, who dropped him and Sam
Stoller, another Jew, from the team
the day before . the race, was a Nazi
sympathizer.
Glickman made similar charges
against Avery Brundage, the head of
Two Jews were

U.S. relay team
in Berlin.
the United States Olympic
Committee.
The charges were not proved, but
in 1998, the president of the USOC
said he believed Glickman's allega-
tions were correct.
That year, the committee present-
ed Glickman with a plaque in lieu
of the gold medal he would have
earned as a member of the victori-
ous relay team.
The 1936 Olympics are notorious
because they were staged by Hitler
to demonstrate the superiority of
Aryan culture. Ironically, the star of
the Games was an African
American, Jesse Owens — who won
his fourth gold medal as one of the
replacements for Glickman and
Stoller.
The son of a textile salesman and
a homemaker, Glickman was born
in the Bronx and raised in
Brooklyn.
Glickman later became well
known as a sports announcer for
New York professional sports teams.
He was a radio announcer for the
New York Knicks basketball team
when they were formed in 1946 and
later called games for both the New
York Giants and New York. Jets foot-
ball teams.
Glickman is survived by his wife,
two sons and two daughters.
