About Billy Mills: (born June 30, 1938), also known by his Oglala Lakota name Tamakhóčhe Theȟíla, is an American Oglala Lakota former track and field athlete who won a gold medal in the 10,000 metre run (6.2 mi) at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
His 1964 victory is considered one of the greatest Olympic upsets because he was a virtual unknown going into the event.
He was the first non-European to win the Olympic event and remains the only winner from the Americas.[3] A United States Marine, Mills is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
