Almost 51 years ago and we’re still talking about our hero DAVE WOTTLE!

[@territomoff6672]

Thank you for responding!

[@chazbo3071fun]

Dave has been an inspiration to me since his 1972 800 meter Olympic come from behind victory. I'm 74 and I still watch that race from time to time when I'm dealing with difficulties. He is a genuinely humble person as well.

[@andrewwallace4481]

Just Watched some of your Races Dave !! you had a Kick at the end of your race's🙏So very thoughtful of you to put this message out there 👍

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

Every now and then you see a video on KZbin which makes you feel that despite the cavalcade of trash that YT brings into the world maybe it's good that it exists after all because of rare & precious gems like this.

I'm here a year after the posting, but nice to see Dave is still around and looking good. Short comment on 1972 Olympics - I was always intrigued by the look of indifference Dave displayed just after crossing the finish line; I'm imagining him thinking "OK, race over, time for a beer". No dramatic hootin' and hollerin' for the TV audience's amusement. Best wishes to all back there in Ohio.
