23-year-old policeman Lasse Virén made his Olympic debut at Munich 1972, in the 10,000m event. The middle distance runner from Finland was running in fifth place, midway through the race, when he unexpectedly fell. But: He never gave and ended up winning the race with a world record time of 27:38.40 minutes. An incredible comeback!

True Hero! he came back in four years and did the same thing.

He was physically gifted with incredibly long legs to torso ratio. Prefontaine couldn't beat him

What record would he have set if he hadn't fallen?😲

@randyevermore9323 9 месяцев назад

Timewise, he probably lost only about 3 seconds. But he expended quite a bit of extra energy pulling himself off the ground and accelerating again to reach pace. So I'd guess he probably could have run at least 5 seconds faster, or around 27:33.

@speed_elf 9 месяцев назад

it could have been, but would it have been? maybe not

@J_a_s_o_n 9 месяцев назад

He wouldn't have been that motivated 😎

@randyevermore9323 9 месяцев назад

@@J_a_s_o_n Of course. He was trying to win a gold medal, not set a WR. And he still had to run the heats and final of the 5,000, so he no doubt wanted to conserve his energy. But I have little doubt that he was capable of running at least that fast. The 13:16 5,000 WR that he ran just days after these Olympics is the equivalent of around 27:32 for 10,000.

He never got caught for doping. It's just a rumor. When they asked about it he didn't even know what it is

@summerbay8298 6 месяцев назад

Doped or not I would be really surprised if he would be the only one who got that advance on that race that's why most finns dont see him as doper and I dont think most of his race fellows either. Because they know that everypody on the top were eating that same porridge. Maybe I see things throught bluewhite glasses but the achievment to win 4 gold medals in the olympics is still the greatest goal that finnish track athlete has ever done besides the rumours about doping.

@petesmart1983 9 месяцев назад

Viren was a doper and even ran with plaster after his blood transfusions but then again it was the doping era which his teammate openly admitted to it. Blood doping was fully legal in those days

@lizelleswanepoel116 8 месяцев назад

Why get a transfusion and traumatise the body, if he could have just taken iron for more effective oxygen uptake? The mind boggles.

@s22t 5 месяцев назад

By definition doping is the use of prohibited substances and methods. So it's an oxymoron to say that "blood doping was fully legal"

@chloefitton3023 3 месяца назад

Viren practiced blood doping, and the Olympics Channel is celebrating him? Even if they hadn't outlawed it yet, everyone knew it gave you an unfair advantage because your body would be much quicker to recover than people who weren't doping.

@latebloomerabroad 9 месяцев назад

@@shivahuggins1276 Everybody was NOT doing it. I remember the furor when it was found out, and the other athletes had not been doing it. And why do you talk about disallowing football matches? You're "nonsense"; I ever said anything about disallowing it, just that it seems strange to celebrate something that absolutely DID give him an advantage.

@djangorheinhardt 8 месяцев назад

Where does " giving yourself a bit of an advantage " end ,and downright cheating begin ?Because blood doping was not then outlawed I still think it was cheating ! !

@lizelleswanepoel116 8 месяцев назад

Come on! Virén blood doped! Also, watch closely: he first shoved the runner in front of him. Then the nr 1410 behind him shoved Viren, probably to say: “Hey, don’t shove the runners, dear doper.”

@brankojovanovic4764 7 месяцев назад

it was then allowed for athletes to change their blood between races. After Viren "won" rules are changed and new "Viren" didnt happen anymore

@djangorheinhardt 8 месяцев назад

As far as I knew he rarely did his day job of being a Policeman after the 1976 Olympics so where is your information of him being a "racist cop " come from .I resent Viren's 4 gold medals as they were dishonestly won but by the sound of you I prefer to respect Viren and his miles of training than somebody like yourself who seems to have had an attack of verbal and literary incontinence. Get the chip of jealousy of your shoulder mate before it consumes you
