Bob Schul used to train kids, from middle schoolers to college runners, for free twice a week at a track in Troy. Then he would take us to meets. He taught me so much about running. I am almost 60 years old now and still remember his words when I run.

I was 12 years old and saw both 5,000 and 10,000 on TV. The Schul race is just as memorable for me. One difference is that Schul was a favorite to win because he had the best 5,000 time in the world that year and also had set the world record for two miles. Still, what an achievement on the most important stage and what a display of grit. Side note: Can't believe that elite runner Jazy looked back so frequently. Not looking behind is junior high school rule #1.
I was a freshman runner at Miami U. when Bob Schul came back to school. His workouts were impressive. He lapped me in a 2 mile race and told me he felt bad since I had to drop out by rule. He was a classy gentleman.
I was 15 and saw this race thru a Walgreen's window at State St and Randolph St in Downtown Chicago. I was a HS runner at the time. It inspired all of us HS'er's that America could run with the best and win. Recommend the book by Kenny Moore: Bowerman and the Men of Oregon - more than a track book, its one of the finest biographies and historical treatments of America in the 50, 60s and 70s.
"This was the same year that Billy Mills won the 10,000 meter race which was the first time an American ever won that race. Mills race was unbelievable. I was a senior in high school and loved watching track & field events. The Mills race on tape still gives me chills and I am 71 years old now".
I count myself as fortunate. I was glued to the TV coverage of the 64 Olympics and saw both races. They are great moments in USA sports history. “Americans win the five and ten!” Yes, they did. Schul and Mills.
This was the very first Summer Olympics ever televised on NBC long before it became an NBC exclusive since 1988. Only the opening & closing ceremonies were televised in color.
So great to see this. Last Olympiad on a dirt (mud) track. Fun watching Schiull kick. Dellinger just nosing out a bronze at the end. What a treat. Id love to see the whole race; 10,000 too. For all Olympics, not just this one. A blast. 👍
The last American to win the Olympic 5K run, while another American, Bill Dellinger, dives across the finish line to grab the bronze from Frenchman Michel Jazy, who turns his head just one time too many. Schul had a murderous finishing kick. The video doesn't show his beatific grin when he wins. And there's Kenya's legendary Kip Keino finishing behind Jazy. One heckuva race...that is, after that Olympics' 10K run!
Damn, i was a runner in the 70's and 80's and knew about Billy Mills and watched his movies. But, I did not know about Bob Schul and this race. Makes no sense that Schul doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves for being the first American to win Olympic 5000 meters.
@Charles Porter "Political correctness"? Nah, Mills was not expected to win, yet ran an exciting OR 10,000, only 9 sec behind the WR. Schul, however, was the favorite and delivered in a comparatively slow 5,000. nowhere near the WR.
First time I have seen this on UA-cam. I was 11 for this Olympics so many heroes to me. My friend and I were runners from early age, I can remember pretending to be Bob Schul coming from behind. Ron Clark was a long time favorite also.
Great race. Thank you for posting. Outstanding final lap of Bob Schul. I'm glad to see my compatriot Harald Norpoth winning the silver medal. It's a pity that nowadays there is no runner like he was in Germany. But the USA have since Tokyo a great tradition of long distance runners.
@@PeterPan-nh7yx Yes you are right. But Dieter Baumann was an exception and he was the last german runner who was able to reach a medal at the Olympic Games or World Championship.
Schul should've got more attention and i believe he was overshadowed by Mill's incredible kick as well. Any other Olympics and Bob would've been the center of attention!!!
@@richardmilliken5651 Come on, now. Bob Schul's ferocious kick was incredible, period. Jazy seemingly had the race won, but Schul kept pouring it on on a track reduced to near-quagmire! By scorching it in the second lane, that was very wise of Bob, as he would have better footing. A tour de force performance by Schul, indeed. However, you are oh so right; Mills's kick seemed to come out of nowhere after he had hung with the world record holder for all that time. The 1964 Olympics were truly very special for the USA in track 'n field.
These replies are accurate but not the real reason...mills was Indian and so was the idol of the politically correct media...the corrupt media has always pushed racism and political correctness..

Did anyone catch the announcer's phrase when referring to the Kenyan: the boy, not the runner from Kenya but the boy. Now the Kenyan runners dominate the long distance events.
I heard it. To him, the young runners were kids. That was the great Marty Glickman (as Jim Brown referred to him in an HBO documentary) speaking. Olympic sprinter in 1936, teammate and friend of Jesse Owens. He and teammate Sam Stoller were the only members of the team who did not get the opportunity to compete, replaced in the 4x100 relay. Not so coincidentally, they were the only Jewish members of the team.
I certainly knew about Bob Schul but it had never really sunk in that he and Billy Mills won gold in the same Olympics. Nor did I realize both Kip Keino and Ron Clarke were in this race.
The Australian Ron Clarke was one of the greatest middle/long-distance runners in athletics history. In the 1960s he set 17 world records from 2 miles -10 miles, and also the 1-hour record. However, he never won an Olympic gold medal.
"The BOY from Kenya"?!!!!!! That was KIPCHOGE KEINO, one of the greatest runners of the 1960s. If the announcer had forgotten his name, the word "runner" was available.
The quality of American distance running has actually improved. But notice - in this race there was one African. Today you'll see a host of African countries represented. It's hard for a white man to even get into the finals nowadays, due to the superior genetics of African runners. BTW, just as today, those runners had their own coaches. The USA has never had a national team with a coach training all the Olympic runners.
There was no psychology coach back then. Jazy, who probably was the strongest in the field, is dissolving in the last 120 meters due to a panic attack (fear of winning) that had his mind betraying his legs, a result of coming into the race terrified by the stakes, confidence at bottom level, a condition we can well appreciate as he keeps turning his head checking on who's behind him. Later he admitted being totally flabbergasted seeing Schul unfazed, reading a cartoon, as the runners waited to get on the tracks. I was only 9 years old back then in France, we listened to the race on the radio, and that loss still hurts. He was such a great runner., by 1966, he owned 3 world records, mile, 1500 and 5000.
darwinjeff I disagree, Jazy was a superb finisher, he won most of his races not by outpacing the competition like Ron Clarke, but by dashing in the last stretch. Just as he did in Tokyo, except that he froze with fear (back then, all of France was expecting to win gold, the pressure was immense and it did him in, he admitted so).
I see...it is tough to bring everything to the table in any competition, certainly. I would perhaps instead say Schul was better prepared, as it was a 'level playing field,' including emotional preparations available to all of the athletes of the time. Perhaps the pressure from France affected Jazy (unfortunate irony for him), but pressure came in different forms for each runner. Just my take from competitions I have been in (not running, but other stuff). Best regards...
You're a moron if you think ANY Olympic athlete who makes the final and is leading in the last lap of a race has a "fear of winning." They've been winning all their lives, and that's the entire reason they're there - trying to win! If they were afraid of winning they would have never made it to the Games at all.
The panic is not the fear of winning, it's the inability to respond when a competitor comes up and begins to move past you. All relaxation, which is key to good running, disappears.
+Gerald Lafon Gerald Lafon. "Jazy" is French and the "J" would not be pronounced like "Jazzy." Trust me, I'm right. Plus I know very well how Michel is spelled since I saw this back then.
I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right! But one of the commentators said “The BOY from Kenya...”! Is the commentator from the South? Why use that term? ☮️🖖🏽
How about you go and dox Marty Glickman's surviving family members and cancel his contributions to the sport of track and field. ❄❄❄ To judge a person from another generation without context or empathy for the world and society in which they lived makes you a very ignorant individual. Moreover, to think that you are so righteous that you wouldn't have behaved in a similar manner under the same circumstances makes you a fool.
@@matthewerulkar3164 1.) Upon replay, I don't even think it was Glickman who said it. 2.) It was a poor choice of words considering how sensitive people like you (you as an individual, don't go getting all butt hurt by using your group identity to take offense) but it didn't sound like it was meant to be derogatory. 3.) Glickman, and likely the other announcers, was double the age of Kip and it may very well been a comment about his youth instead of what you're thinking. I don't call men in their early 20's "boys" (because that would be assuming their gender, right?) and instead refer to them as "kids", because that's what they are until they hit 30. 4.) If it was Glickman then I highly doubt with his past that he was making any sort of racial slight. He faced discrimination as well for his ethnicity and his teammates on his relay team were of the same complexion as Kip. 5.) I could be completely wrong about the announcer's intent but it doesn't change the fact that you're an overly sensitive individual who needs to toughen up a bit.
This race was a bit boring until the last lap. Then it was great! The leader Jazy was "rubbernecking" at the end, paying more attention to the other runners than to his own form. That slowed him down so much he didn't even medal. Schul was much stronger than anyone else down the stretch and ran full-steam for the last 200 m.
WEST MILTON, OHIO in the house! RIP Mr. Schul. Growing up around this time, he was like a super hero who just happened to live down the street. Super heroes were real people in those days. Something to look up too. Not some CGI crap in part 14 of a movie franchise. God help US.
Ron Hill (?) was close to bring gold to USA in 5000 m in 1932. But certain Lauri Lehtinen from Finland came first. Lehtinen was accused of blocking Hill in final meters and wss booed at in medalceremony.

Who coached the US distance runners in 64? Hats off to him.

The Olympic coach does not really coach the athletes at the Olympics. He is a manager for them. Igloi was Schul's coach. I am unsure about Mills.
There is an interview "out there" on UA-cam with Ron Clarke and in it he admits this was the only 5K/10K that he ever gave up on.
Awesome kick…. A true legend.

Супер финиш 38.7 последние 300 м,по колено в грязи.С таким финишем Шуль мог выйграть в тактическом забеге у любого современного бегуна
"The Boy from Kenya" .....any other "boys" in the race.
Pretty callous by the narrator. Kip was 20 years old at the time.
Exactly. Just incredible how embedded racism still was in our language
Rom was 1960!
Ron Hill (?) was close to bring gold to USA in 5000 m in 1932. But certain Lauri Lehtinen from Finland came first. Lehtinen was accused of blocking Hill in final meters and wss booed at in medalceremony.
Strangely,Schul didn't even hold his college's three mile record for very long as Jack Bacheler broke it only a few years later.
Thanks for the update. Bob Schul was running at Miami (O) U. as practice. Jack Bacheler was for in front of me at MU> Go Redskins! OOPS Red Hawks.
RIP Robert Schul
