it's too bad steve impressed others so much. young runners need not drink alcohol or burn themselves out when running. over exertion is the last thing a runner should allow in his sport. unless it is something other than running like football or boxing. they should see steve for what he was as it destroyed him. a talented, but pushy little man who drank too much. any drinking is bad for a runner or anyone else for that matter. if the kids are looking for someone to admire, they can still buy superman comicbooks.

When Pre first came on the sceen, I did not like him. I thought he was arrogant and was more of a fan of jim ryan and marty. But still there was just something about pre that captured me, he always backed up what he said. I graudally became a fan of his and huge supporter. RIP Steve and thanks for the great memories.

For you american track&field fans Prefontaine may be a legend but in Europe he sure is not. Only few even remember him. He was just a guy who was 4:th in Olympic Games. No victories at all in european races during those years. Someone was always better, Viren, Puttemans, Foster, Jipcho, Norpoth, Knut Kvalheim etc. And Prefontaine didn´t run any world records either, didn´t get even close.It´s sad that he died so young but anyway, to us europeans he is not a legend, and in the seventies, most of the best distance runners came from european countries, and the rest from Africa or New Zealand. When he died he was only 11:th in all time 5000m list, and 6:th in 10000m. Some sense of proportion, please

You realize Pre never went professional and was under the control of the AAU who wouldn't allow amateur runners compete internationally if it wasn't on their terms. Pre wasn't competing against the best because college athletics were a complete crap show in the United States in 1972. Unfortunately, Pre died before he had an opportunity to see the impact he had on college athletics and we didn't get to see him compete against the top international competition but a handful of times.

@@justinpelkey6722 , yes he did. He ran in several races in Europe during years 1972-74 and never won. Maybe one race, if I am honest. As I said, he was not good enough to win. Too much talking about second class runner.

I don´t understand why you americans keep talking about runner who was 4:th in Olympic Games, didn´t win any important, he wasn´t even close to world records and so on? Why? When I was eleven years old, I saw him running in Helsinki Olympic stadion. Emiel Puttemans started his kick and Prefontaine had no chance.

@@saminieminen4871 You asked why he is a legend nationally. He's a legend because at the time he died he had set every American record from the 2,000 meters to 10,000 meters. He died tragically before hitting the prime of his career and was at peak form the very day he died. He also brought a lot of national attention to a sport not recieving much love at the time. These are facts and explain why he was so loved and remains loved today. You don't appreciate him because he had no impact on your country which is cool but he had a lot of impact on my country and the sport he competed in. It's not that he's the best American runner ever, not even close, but he is one of, if not the most, beloved. There's no exact reason why, the way he competed, the voice he had on the sport, the heart he displayed at the Olympic games, the fact that he was lost way too soon, probably all contributing factors.
