Pre was a great competitor and only 21 when he lost in Munich. It's so sad that he didn't live long enough to fully mature as a runner. He was the Caitlan Clark of distance running in the early senenties

I never cared for Prefontaines running style. He ran a very poor race in '72 at the Olympics, surging to the front way too early and depleted his reserves and failed to medal. Big failure.

Steve was a big hero of mine and I got a chance to stand next to him during a Pac-8 Cross Country Championship meet at UCLA (where I was a student) in about 1971 or so. I ran up the tail between the dorms to watch him go by and cheer him on (gently patting his shoulder). I ran back down to the finish line as he wound down along Sunset Boulevard, finishing far ahead of everyone in typical Pre fashion. Always would go to Drake Stadium during track season whenever Oregon came to town. I'm currently doing a series of "Heroes" oil paintings, and Steve is one of them. RIP, buddy.

Pre held every American record from 2000 meters to 10000 meters. Never held a world record. Rarely raced outside the USA. Ran in the 1972 Olympics when he was 21 years old, but died at the young age of 24. What might have been? At the time he was America's greatest middle distance runner. A legend.

@@RK-um9tu Well, your first mistake was spelling Ryun incorrectly. That tells me a lot. Prefontaine is a legend here in the US who dominated the distance races domestically for several years. He was very competitive in world competition, but had yet to really make his mark, having died before he reached his peak. Anyone who knows what he is talking about would not be dismissing Prefontaine as "just a loser".

People forget just how good he was, Munich had a lot going against him allowing the kickers extra days of rest. He was also instrumental in the design of Nike, shoes that were originally made by Bill Bowerman. When Pre first wore them they were made in pieces but he would take them out for a run and literally destroy them in a short distance. He was the one who mentioned changing the toe to a one piece and Bowerman’s former track students, Phil Knight got backing from the best investor of all time in Paul Allen ( a guy who seemed to be in right place right time being money man for both Nike and Microsoft.)
@randyevermore9323 Жыл бұрын
"Munich had a lot going against him allowing the kickers extra days of rest. " As much as I was a fan of Pre in my youth, I never understood this reasoning. He complained that the break in competition that was taken due to the terrorist attacks had given the athletes who had competed in the 10,000 extra rest before the 5,000. But they had still run a hard 10,000, especially Viren, who set a WR in that race despite falling well into it. Pre, on the other hand, had run no other races and was therefore coming into the 5,000 with completely fresh legs. So he still had an advantage over the athletes who had run the 10,000m, even if they did get more rest than the would have under the original schedule.
