I think Ron Pickering meant TWELVE THOUSAND METRES, not 1,200.

wow those africans are amazing... 🤣

[@nicksteve5392]

Racism was a lot more upfront here. Cameraman barely wanting to catch the African runners that were DIRECTLY behind the leader. Announcer didn't think to NAME the Ethiopians and named the Kenyan once or twice yet named the clear favorite and lead Portugal athlete over and over. I don't care the color, I just wanna know the athletes running well. Wtf

If you're White, which you sound like you must be [because you sound like a White Knight] go race in Zimbabwe or South Africa and see how much coverage your pale butt gets. [NOW, not in 1985] Or Ethiopia, Somalia, Congo, Chad and a longer list.... This is a heavily edited clip and have a look at the previous year''s WXC or subsequent, in the 80s and 90s - they didn't have drones and digital tech like we do now. But carry on believing in racism.,...you know you will!
