Lasse Viren, Munchenin 10000m

[redpa38]

Lasse Viren my sporting hero!

[Knihti1]

Ihme että taustalla soi Vangeliksen Conquest of Paradise eikä Vangeliksen Charriot of Fire, biisi joka synomyymi juoksumusiikille.

[oi565]

Mikähän tuo musiikki vois olla?

[tottes69a]

hyyyyvä lasse viren

[SMWhit3out]

3:16 is one of the most motivational things ive ever seen. Not only did Lasse Viren motivate himself to get gold, he motivated someone else to run RIGHT behind him to the silver medal. wow. epic.

[ElisaAliceDamn]

4 ihmistä ei osaa juossa tunteella. :)

[morbidpeki]

Mikä hymni taustalla soi?

[apuvamies]

@morbidpeki Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise

[PaulVinonaama]

@korbendallas66. Listasi on virheellinen; siihen kuuluisi Anders Gärderud. Suomellakaan vastaava lista ei ole pitkä. Siihen kuuluu Viren ja Vasala, sikäli kun 1500m lasketaan pitkäksi matkaksi. Eikä listan pitenemisestä näytä olevan toivoa.

[IHMISPAJATSO]

Viren kävi kaatamassa yhden...

KYLLÄ SE VIREN ON KOVA JÄTKÄ!

[korbendallas66]

Tähän alle listaamme ruotsalaiset pitkänmatkanjuoksun olympiavoittajat viimeisen 50 vuoden ajalta.

[DR43MK1LLER]

Kyllä tässä on sitä suomalaista sisua parhaimillaan. Saadan olla todella ylpeitä että asutaan Siniristilipun alla. SUOMI <3

[NFLmarco]

Pre would of kicked this guy ass

[Velvet4U]

@NFLmarco the "Pre" as you like to call him, was WAY overrated. the PRE would have got his ASS kicked against Kenesia Bekele , the "PRE" would have lost by 1 minute in ANY race.

the "PRE" did have American records, but everyone SUCKED at that time. I would have loved to seen more of the "PRE" getting his ASS kicked with the runners of today.

[dkperry21]

@Velvet4U Pre wasn't overrated, but he was only great on a world level at 5km. Against today's runners, there's no comparison to any runners from back then. Pre was only 21 years old when he ran the 1972 Olympics, and he had a very good chance at taking gold in 1976, if not for his death the previous year. Also, track was in addition to having a job. He was the most dominant middle dist. runner in USA at his time&one of the world's best. But, it was his heart and determination that ppl loved.

[VirenKickedPresAss]

@dkperry21 I'm just curious. Who paid for his housing? Who paid for his food? Who paid for his travel? Who paid for his gear?

[mixuli1966]

Lasse Viren on kaikkien aikojen paras juoksija!!!

[sokbomba]

IRONWILL

[ElksuGuitar]

Onko noilla vaipat jalassa?

[heresjohnnnyy1]

who is the guy who is watching the race and almost looks traumatized?? is that an older viren??

[pietro64]

@heresjohnnnyy1 yes 

[karpuska]

@heresjohnnnyy1 I think that is Lasse Viren but after the run?

[Kzaaps]

@heresjohnnnyy1

Yes

[haba3000]

@JPYoshi8 Yes he beated Prefontaine in 5000 meters in 1972 olympics.

[rogelton1]

Puttemans without doping!

[palikkapaa]

tästä saa reilusti motivaatioo juoksuharrastukseen. :)

[JackKovanaama]

Kaatuminen, olympakulta ja maailmanennätys samaan juoksuun. Voi koittaa laittaa paremmaksi - ihan kuka tahansa maailmassa. Ei tuon kanssa samaan kastiin pääse kuin Paavo Nurmen kaksi kultaa Pariisissa 1924 tunnin välein juostuna. Iso hattu nousee kyllä Lasselle ja Paavolle.

[umpisuoli87]

Ihan menee kananlihalle tos lopus..)

[Badington99]

Toinen jää makaa siihen ku Lasse lähtee pinkomaan HYVÄ LASSE!!!!

[Pertsa98]

Hyvä Lasse ! =)) Ei oo enää Suomalaisista tollaseen ..

[crazyspeed10]

Kenenisa Bekele would have destroyed him

[Kodeka]

@crazyspeed10 who gives a fuck?

[cromano060]

ei saatana vireeniä voita kukaan

[Azonicable]

Tolla jätkällä joka juoksi Vireniä päin meni pasmat kyllä niin sekasin, että ei pystyny jatkamaan.

Virenin hermot ovat rautaa.

[valmiustila]

Hajos xD Ensin vedetää turvat ja sen jälkee voitetaan maailmanmestaruus xD

[Anepanehiirta]

@valmiustila itse asiassa tämä on kesäolympialaisista 1972

[keravankauhu]

v"#¤%"#¤u näitä videoita vois kattoo vaikka vuoden putkeen!

[smuliiful]

mikä biisi alussa?

[hermotmenee]

@smuliiful Vangelis - conquest of paradise

[was5ser]

Самый лучший стайер.

[ProudToBeAFinn]

@was5ser Say what???

[was5ser]

@ProudToBeAFinn Best stayer ))))

[faraka21]

siinä viren näytti suomalaista sisua vaikka kaatuikin ja voitti

[Erkkierkki14]

Suomalaista sisua sanon minä.

[pelebleidaaja]

se tyyppi joka kaatu ku viren kaatu vissiin lopetti kesken.

[nortexoid]

prefontaine!

[YiftertheShifter1]

Viren!

[YiftertheShifter1]

And this is not to mention that blood doping's effects last less than a month; six weeks before the games, Viren ran a 13:19, and this is not to mention over 20 races at the highest stages in 1972, spread throughout a period far longer than the effects of blood doping lasts.

[FinnMove]

@YiftertheShifter1 It is now meaning to talk about blood dope or something. It´s about 30- 40 years ago. The world was different. No one talked about these things in 1972. I think the long distant runners need a perfect mental train. When the men are equal the result is : What is your attitude ? You run 27.00 or 29.00.

The Soviet and the Eastern Block used so much dope those days, it´s no use to

write the history again !

[FinnMove]

@YiftertheShifter1 Though Viren was the best I feel pity for Dave Bedford. He was absolutely better than his sixth position in 10000 metres.

[YiftertheShifter1]

In the months leading to the Munich games, Viren and his coach did a test to show how fit he was: Viren would run 20 repetitions of 200m and after each interval they would record his heartrate. In June, he averaged 30 seconds, 190 BPM. In July, he averaged 29.3 and 186. In August, after setting a world record over two miles, he averaged 27.2 and 172. So, not only was he getting faster, but his heart was much more at ease.

[YiftertheShifter1]

One of blood doping's negative side effects is that the increased red blood cell content causes blood to become thicker, leading to atherosclerosis and eventual heart attacks. One can conclude that the heart would be working harder. If Viren was blood doping at the Olympics as people say he was, why was his heart getting more relaxed coming close to the games? All the more proof that people who make this accusation have no clue of what they're talking about.

[FinnMove]

@YiftertheShifter1 I think the result in both 5000 and 10000 metres in Munich

in a real life. The condition they really had !

10000 metres : 1. Viren 2. Bedford 3. Puttemans 4. Gammoudi 5. Yifter

5000 metres 1. Viren 2. Prefonataine 3. Puttemans 4. Stewart 5. Gammoudi

[ilkkavu]

@YiftertheShifter1 atherosclerosis? that is just nonsense. blood doping has nothing to do with atherosclerosis. blood can become too thick, but if that happens then the blood doper is doing it wrong.

[YiftertheShifter1]

No, it's not nonsense. Many times blood dopers suffer heart attacks as a result of their blood becoming very thick from repeated RBC insertions.

[ilkkavu]

@YiftertheShifter1 yes, but it has nothing to do with atherosclerosis.

[Sichotic]

Is that Lasse viren in the video clip watching his race?

[YiftertheShifter1]

@Sichotic yes it is.

[aarni1967]

Yes.

[aarni1967]

Finnish talk show.

[ss90ss444]

Tough man. One of Finland"s finest.

[YiftertheShifter1]

Just amazing how he trips in the middle of a race, and yet he still won in a WR time. I tripped at the start of a mile race, and tried to get back and win, but couldn't. Lasse Viren is my hero.

[oomagaad1]

Kyllä jos keneisa bekele tonne laitettas ni ois ollu kierroksen ennen lassea maalissa :)

[evilTaker90]

Viren näytti mitä on suomalainen sisu!HYVÄ VIREN!

[yootubeisforfags]

Fell down...got up...and broke the world record. That's a true badass.

[pude69]

lasse oli toiminnan mies, perkele. siinä oli/on kunnon mies. Ei mikään turha äijä.

[salvatorearcilesi]

starck...........

[fnglert]

Sisu!

[flippyhero]

suomipoika osaa :D:D

[dc3rvant3s]

Poor Gammoudi.

He was the victim of circumstance, although i am not sure if he would have won, seeing as how Viren got up to quickly.

But he might have placed.

[SzYm42]

only finns have that kind of power to start running in a situation like that your man just started to cry on the ground

[dc3rvant3s]

wtf?

[mastermindest]

"Uusi maailmanennätys, miltä nyt tuntuu?"

"Ihan hyvältä tuntuu, mutta mistä näitä senttejä oikein tulee?"

[kana2004]

"Voi herranjestas että hän vain kestäisi" :') upeaa

[elvisaron1]

Kova veto ei siitä ali eikä ämpäri pääse =)

[lallijorma]

saatana on ollu kova äijjä ei tuaallaasia oo enää

[ilkkavu]

joo, nykyään neekerit ohittaisi Virenin kierroksella.

[ilkkavu]

@lallijorma On niitä. Valkoisia miehiä, jotka juoksee yhtä kovaa kuin Viren. Ne vaan ei pärjää.

[MultiKimsu]

@lallijorma Eikä varsinkaa valkoihosia!! :D

[Jebuxxx]

Suomipoika ei jääny maahan itkeen niinku toi ählämsähläm :)

[lallijorma]

[jamppamies]

Ja siihen se taisi sitten jäädäkin.

[Turnipsi1981]

[ferrixxx]

alkaa melkeen itkettää ku tän kattoo:D

[Kamy91]

Toinen jäi vaan makoilemaan, mutta suomipoika nous pystyyn ja jatko maaliin.

[arvostelija123]

Loistavaa Lasse!

[pureara]

Lasse anto vaa vähän etumatkaa noille muille ku ei muuten ole vastusta :D

[amjiii]

[serkkkas]

[MrJuha82]

@serkkkas Mertsi elää niin tunteella että ois voinu saada sydärin ku tuollainen uroteko Vireniltä.

Oli hän kova urheilija.

[kurtikainen]

[Penssi]

[PR1M4]

[Minkki82]

[appellaa]

[LvBsrys]

jutse21:

Biisi on: Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise

[Deimiond]

On tää jumalauta niin säväyttävä video. Ei helevetti. Kun tällästä pääsis vielä todistamaan omana elinaikana.

[jutse21]

Mikä musa??

[holleholgerssonHH]

iha kylmät väreet tuli :D

[MusicLegendarium]

That's sisu!

[Mazurka1001]

One of the greatest athletes of all time. Of course, we shouldn't forget the great Nurmi...

[YiftertheShifter1]

I think we can all make a strong case for Viren being the greatest Olympic runner in history. Though you mention Nurmi, let us not forget that five of his nine gold medals were won in events that are now defunct; as for Emil Zapotek... well, first of all you have to qualify for the Olympic Marathon, so your first Marathon can't come in the Olympic games, and second his winning time was 10 minutes slower than Viren's fifth place finish. Viren and his double double: unparalleled.

[Mazurka1001]

Thanks for your good points, perhaps though different eras and epochs cannot be compared. For example, the food and preparation work in Nurmi-Zatopek era was very different from Viren era, not to mention the "modern" runners...but there was definitely some CHARISMA or something that most contemporary runners, even if they are faster than the ancients, simply lack. I mean all of these guys had some huge charisma, Viren, Abebe Bikila, Nurmi, Zatopek...

[YiftertheShifter1]

Yeah, I do agree, especially after going to the Paavo Nurmi website yesterday that this guy's charisma is... well, hard to explain for those who simply haven't lived in his era (myself included). Still I believe that Viren, given that he peaks exactly at the Olympic games and runs the most spectacular races there, takes the crown.

[Mazurka1001]

Concurred. Thanks.

[johnlvs2run]

I like the background music too.

Viva viren. Thanks for the video.

[Leubesi]

how is the background musik called???

[Leubesi]

wie heißt die musik im hintergrund???

[YiftertheShifter1]

One and a half lap kick... I'm going to try that someday...

[YiftertheShifter1]

Tried it... I couldn't really catch up to the guy in front of me, but I got close between 500 and 400, but my finishing speed isn't the greatest. Try again, I guess...

[Plasvi]

he's my hero ;)

[5uomalainen]

well, if he used blood dope, we can say he used blood dope better than other athleticsin the field..

[englishman1960]

every athlete in the field was blood doping so the best athlete still won.

[62liimis]

Well, at least you don't accuse only Viren, which is a healthy apptoach. HOW on earth is ONLY ONE man accused for doping. I guess he was simply so GOOD!

[medliberty]

sisu

[rampale1]

Vangelis - Conquest of paradise

[Hardcorenisti]

Kaikki olis tossa vaiheessa luovuttanu, minäkin, mutta Lasse ei! respect.

[Finkkari]

On toi Viren kyllä helvetin kova jätkä, sisua löytyy niin perkeleesti, tää juoksu on aivan syystä yksi urheiluhistorian legendoista.

[Oirias21]

Muutokset koskevat vaihtelevin vastuin teollisuuden koko prosessia.

[FinnMove]

Viren olisi voittanut, vaikka olisi kaatunut

kolme kertaa ja juossut vähän aikaa takaperin.

Ehtii siinä välillä solmia piikkarien

kengännauhatkin.

[voijuma]

suomen suurimpia voittoja kautta aikojen.

[VirenKickedPresAss]

Viren is the best. Prefontaine wasn't even in his league.

[evilTaker90]

kyllä monet ois tossa vaiheessa luovuttanu mutta Viren nousi viä ylös ja voitti!!!!!

[howvince]

Oi, niitä aikoja!

[VirenKickedPresAss]

Yes, Prefontane did blood dope, but that is no reason to trample on his grave. His 4th place was outstanding, even if he was taking illegal performance enhancing drugs.

[VirenKickedPresAss]

fucking ignorant liar

[mazaaa85]

fagot

[lordraven1980]

nope, just the truth. viren was using blood doping same as many other runners back in the 70s. was he talented? yes. did he dope? yes.

[mazaaa85]

truth ? HA !

[ianedwards19]

Thats not the truth!

[lordraven1980]

it is and there is more...as always most people prefer living in denial.

[ianedwards19]

Think what you want. You know he was clean.

[lordraven1980]

no, he was using blood doping (among other things) same as MANY other runners (and cyclists etc) did back in the 70s.

but if you wanna lie to yourself, be my guest.

[FinnMove]

they say always that the winners used

blood dope

why the losers aren´t ever using blood dope ??????

I think those bad jokes of blood dope are

just rubbish, bad loser is always a bad loser

[lordraven1980]

well i am not 'they'. lots of people who dont win dope too.

[VirenKickedPresAss]

Any fucking proof? NO. Asshole.

[Ratchet92]

Woot :O! That was something.

[arskanbaari]

yes after viren

[Perfectrequire]

Carlos Lopres the best runner ever

[prporter1]

The best? No, but certainly one of the best ever. He was only one of two distance runners I never beat. I was in shape to beat the world one year, and he beat me like a redheaded step child. I have tremendous respect for him. Nice guy, too.

[johnlvs2run]

Who was the other one? I would guess Carlos Lopes

[YiftertheShifter1]

Emiel Puttemans of Belgium

[N1nj444]

SISU

[raulevich]

virren virrennnn , asi narro el finlandes en la final de los 5000 en montreal 76, tremendos competidores en estos 10000 metros como putemans y frank shorter ( luego campeon de la maraton) viren 4 medallones... espectaculares.

[Andresrunner]

¡¡¡Un Maestro!!! Caer y levantarse a esa velocidad, sobrepasar a colosos como Puttemans y Prefontaine, ganar la medalla dorada y hacer un record mundial, Virén fue un grande entre los grandes...

[Octantehuit]

Don't you think the second of the race (Emile Puttemans - Belgium) is great too? Congrats to these men.
