Great runner. One of my boyhood heros who inspired to me to start a lifetime of running. A good video which illustrates what a world class athlete he was.
After watching the 72, 5000 final, of course watching for Pre, I most noticed Ian’s race and how well it was run, one of my favorite runners in history now.
Excellent high quality video footage! Where did you get this segment from? Did you make it? Is it you providing the narration? This video is a great accompaniment to my full documentary on Ian on my channel. Thanks for putting this up.
Hey, that's right! Thanks for pointing it out. In my book, that was Rodgers' best performance ever. He then went on to have his Boston breakthrough race soon after, as I recall.
As I recall Rogers just pipped the soon to be world mile record holder ,John Walker in the sprint for the third place. Ironic, marathoner out sprints 800/1500 runner.

And yes, that's Bill Rodgers on the podium in 3rd place in the 1975 World Cross-Country Championships at the very end of the video...
