I live in Eugene and attend most of the meets. I went to the trials in '80 and '84 in LA, not to mention the Pre meets here. Never have I witnessed a more exciting race than this one! The crowd was the loudest I've ever heard at Hayward. Live it was awesome, and this vid gives me goosebumps every time I watch it!
Just go to the NBC Olympics website, click on track and Field, and then video and you'll see the picture of the three guys w/ American flags. This was simply amazing.
what race? what race? if you were any sort of trackie you would have seen one of the greatest american races EVER! symmonds with a smashing last 200 in 25 seconds to smash the competition in such a stacked field. All UofO boys representing the USA in beijing.
