Tom Courtney, a Fordham University graduate who with a homestretch surge and a lunge at the tape won a furious 800-meter run by inches in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, capturing the gold medal for the United States, died on Tuesday at an assisted living facility in Naples, Fla. He was 90.

Not to be confused with Sir Tom Courtenay, still off-topic at age 86.

Aha! Thanks. I was pretty sure there was an actor of the same name, but I
was unable to verfy it earlier today, due, of course, to the small
difference in the spelling.

Indeed, Sir McCormack--among other films, the very-much-alive Tom Courtenay starred in two positively remarkable films, the Stalin-era gulag drama "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", whose title aptly posits its narrative.
