Marty called it right. Wottle was the middle distance sprinter. Bill Toomey I knew as the UC Irvine Athletic Director and Head Track Coach had his nerves unhinged in 68 winning the decathlon. I never tried vaulting but my grandfather did in 1920. Always something going on at the games. Ryan fell in 72 but his day was in '66. Finland policeman also fell during his 72/76 winning the double double. I was there in 84 warning Mary Decker in the race before she fell but somehow was late to her final. Was there w hff en Sebastian Coe finally won his race in '84. After that I never went to another race. America lost its stride after that, its time of greatness ended.

I was at that meet as well as the previous year. Jim Ryun‘s wife was sitting near us and Jim came up in the stands after the race and was very distraught. As the Ryuns left, Jim left his spikes on the bench next to my brother and I. I picked them up and gave them to Anne Ryun. I was a 12 year old track nut and big Ryun fan. He won the Trials in those spikes and then fell in Munich in them. We know what Wottle did.

I was 12 when I watched Dave Wottle and the hat win the 800 in the 72 Olympics in very similar fashion. He let the front runners burn themselves out and paced himself over the first 3 laps. In the Munich Olympics his 2 laps were about even splits. It looks like he is kicking but it was more his opponents were decelerating faster than him. I got motivated in 8th grade and wore a hat during our track season. I laid back on the first lap but something funny happened. I had no last lap kick and came in last. But he was my first track hero. I had never seen this race before today, so as I am watching it, I am unaware this was before the Olympics and how Wottle was barley mentioned in the beginning. All the hype was on the other guys. Since this was a mile I didn't think Dave would win as I never seen him run a mile or 1500 meters before. Funny how this race foreshadowed his victory in the Olympics. I will never forget I recorded the 800 meters on a reel to reel cassette tape player and listened to it over and over again with Jim McKay announcing it. Very exciting memories. Good watching the old school runners where breaking 4 minutes was something special unlike today where it is routine.
@johnnysparkleface30965 жыл бұрын
His hat, build and his gait made him look like an old man to me, but I just knew he'd win, and he did in every race I remember seeing him run in. Watching a race start with him in it, the anticipation of him kicking at the end was almost more than I could take.

Just some extra info for Animal’s comment-You’d have to mention Ryun in this clip’s title just because of his notoriety @ the time (1965-1972). In this race he’s 25, but @ 18 he was the only high school kid to run under 4 for the mile. He went on to win the silver medal @ the 1968 Olympics just behind Kip Keino (another middle-distance man who wore a cap during races). So now it’s 1972, and everyone is anticipating another showdown between Keino and Ryun. Ryun is feeling tremendous pressure. He’s thinking - everyone is expecting me to win. Personally, at this time in Ryun’s life he doesn’t this pressure well at all.

At the 1972 Olympics he was tripped/ spiked from behind and he should've been advanced to the semi-trials. Jim was robbed of another shot at a Gold Medal.

He pushes down on the accelerator, cruising up to the middle of the pack. The final straight top gear and a win. He has the capacity to go a lot faster. But, happy with a win. No fanfare or whoops of joy. Another stroll in the park win. This commentator was not a fan of Wottle.

Part 2 Ryun recently ran a 4:09 or so at the Drake Relays in Iowa and now he runs worse - a 4:14 (I think he gave up after 2 laps. This race was on Mother’s Day in 1972. Then come the Trials in June. Ryun must have huge doubts about his chances to qualify for the Olympics in Munich. But you know the ending here - he comes out strong and wins the 1500m final. He made the cover of SI for the 4 or 5th time with the headline Ryun Grins and Wins. Ryun went on to fall in the prelims in Munich. He tried to contest that he was fouled, but he was granted a bye into the final. I watched that race in the basement of my dorm building. I was shocked. He was dazed as I was saying - get up, Jim. Get up! No, you need the man’s name in this video title. And it needs to go first.

So in 1972 athletes were described by the colour of their skin. I thought that was way back in Berlin 1936.

When Lemaitre ran under 10 seconds in the hundred a couple of years back, they said, "The first white man to go under 10 seconds..." Nothing at all racist about it. Just a fact.

Thats what happens when you run a 3.58 mile with a top class 800-M runner in the field. Ryun could have won easily in a faster race.

@Michael Rodriguez Exactly what Im saying. As an 800M runner Wottle had a better kick than Ryun in a slowish mile. Wottle couldnt have lived with Ryun in a fast race.

I'm not a fan of tactical racing, it's relatively slow going and then a mad dash at the end, and if you're blocked in, too bad. I discussed this with Glenn Cunningham and asked him why not (if you're the fastest guy there) just leave everyone behind? They can play tactics all they want - if they can't catch you, you're going to win. But he disagreed, and I'll never know why. I thought my reasoning was pretty good. Note: he did not bring up the issue of drafting, his point of view had nothing to do with drafting.

Dave Wottle is the smartest runner in the group. The announcers talk too much with vacuous statements.
