"Once they pass Pfitzinger, he's been out there for so long, he's not going to be able to come back. Psychologically or physically, he won't come back." ... "Tuttle [now in the lead], very happy right now, he's got speed, he's a former steeplechaser, he's not going to be outkicked by anyone from behind." ... "You see Pfitzinger concentrating, stuttering a little bit, it's hard, he's got to work his arms to keep his balance, just concentrating on going with Salazar and Tuttle, concentrating on their backs, hoping they'll pull him along." ... "Tuttle, looking seemingly unpressed, and I guess he'll come away from this race looking toward the Olympics." ... "Salazar taking the lead here...he has had to work hard to pull it out in just the last mile." ... "Pfitzinger comes on and he's going to win it." HAHAHAHAHA
I think it started at Rotterdam in 1983 to be honest. He got beaten in a marathon for the first time and decided he needed to do more training, overtrained himself into oblivion.
I thought that Bill`s unique running form had been enough strong to give much pressure to another leading group of elite runners till half point in this trial. Was very sorry that he had had pace down in his speed by 22 miles.
what a race by Pete Pfitzinger, he's one of the greatest american runners.

Bill Rodgers took 8th place in the trial in spite of his age 35. Remarkable performance of his own.
Kipchoge set a world record at 34! 35 is still very competitive.
Carlos lopes won the gold at 37
13:55 - famous last words!
Tony Sandoval was a legend
Salazar never was the same runner after this defeat. Career over!

Did they film this through a potato?
That was a good race first time Isee
This race was run way too close to the Olympics
