Kipchoge would have run 58 flat, these athletes are absolute word class and the british runners are looking good just like hugh Jones, steve jones and Geoff smith did in the 80s
It was Toroitich's last gestures that showed Rayner a clue that he could get away with the win, if only Toroitich had relaxed, Musobo could have won this race in the last few metres
Imitating& or copying originals is a weak alternative to developing & being YOU! Prefontaine is a 1 of a kind.No one else will ever duplicate him----so, why try?
@@tedallison6112 : and you think that's what Rayner's trying to do , do you Ted? Get out of your own parochial world. Rayner's probably never seen Prefontaine, let alone tried to emulate him. He's Australian and has his own heroes. Doesn't need to adopt American ones
If Raynor doesn't know of Prefontaine & Lasse Virin from the Munich games---he would be historically illiterate regarding his own sport.All the greats study their sport & its lineage past & present. That's how we advance by studying what's been done-then going further & beyond.
Jeigh Lynn, This is commonwealth. I don't know why Kenya didn't send a team. We have so many athletes who'd be willing to compete. They only sent one guy and that was it.
Does the announcer understand that Abbe Bikila won the Olympic marathon ---barefoot? So.......why does he waste commentary on whether this guy or that guy did or didn't wear socks?????????( I won ALL my races ----no socks.......get over it!
We respect you but why are you putting on National jerseys yet you are in private competition? The money you earn will be private but for taxes so please consider wearing private attire. Thank you!
