Maryy Liquori was a very astute commentator.

[@yahow9297]

Leitão said before the race that it was going to be fast, but medals were not guaranteed. The strategy was to wear out everybody, because he knew the sprint was his major flaw. Canário helped a little too. Shame that he was never able to achieve this level again for a number of reasons.

Ryffel was impressive here

[@jimmybondy9450]

Yeah. He did well. Better than he probably expected himself. 🙂

[@hollypetersonherr6366]

Wow..what an awesome final kick👍🏃

[@so.cal.sportsetc.1293]

You know it !

[@soulyrasheed]

Aouita ran the whole race wide, covering many more metres than great Leitao and he still won in 13.05 easily, he was capable 12:50 that day

[@neilryan9301]

Aouita was a running God in the 1980's.

António Leitão RIP

Do you have by any chance the men's 10,000m?

[@so.cal.sportsetc.1293]

I have been looking, but I don't think that I have it. Is there anything else from the 1984 Olympics that you are looking for ?

@@so.cal.sportsetc.1293 The men's steeplechase or 1500 meters?

@@so.cal.sportsetc.1293 I do have the men's 10,000m but with poor quality

[@so.cal.sportsetc.1293]

@ It may take a little while, but I will check my tapes.

[@so.cal.sportsetc.1293]

@ I have to transfer them, but I just wanted to let you know that I have the steeplechase (8-10) and the 1,500 meter final (8-11) one semi final (8-10) and part of 1st round - heat 2 & heat4 (8-9).
