This a great tribute to Pre! I was a young boy when Pre ran for Oregon and was fortunate to watch every one of his races while at Oregon and almost all of his races at Hayward Field/Stevenson track in Eugene. He was and still is one of my top three favorite athletes, ever! My dad and I went to all Oregon track events for many years and had awesome seats 10 rows up from the finish line. I will always remember watching him come around the final turn heading to the finish line. Long live Pre!
Awesome, Inspiring! Thank You, God Bless you. I ran the Prefontaine 10K in Coos Bay many years ago in his honor. I also worked at England's Eugene Memorial Chapel, the funeral home where Steve's body went. I want to pursue Christ like Steve pursued running, all out, all heart and from my gut! Thanks again.
"If I lose pushing the pace the whole way, at least I can live with myself".
Pre could have tucked in and drafted for the last mile and run for a medal. Pre ran that 5000 final for the gold. You can call his tactics stupid or can call them brilliant. The fact is that he did what he said. He went for it. GO PRE!!
The other misconception is that Pre was "devastated and refused to speak to anyone..." The fact is that Pre stayed in Europe for a week after Munich and ran two decent races; in one of them, he was 4 seconds outside his American record for the 5000m.
But otherwise, this is a very well done video. Keep up the good work.
What a brilliant well thought out presentation of one of my all time heroes.
The fact that he is remembered more than 30 yrs after his death says everything and you have captured his essence. You weren't born then, I was and I salute you for this xx
