Virén's '72 Olympic 5K victory came from his careful running of almost all the bends (curves) near the inner edge of the first lane, which spared him tens of metres compared to his chief rival Steve Prefontaine-United States. Prefontaine gave Virén a handicap of over forty metres at the 1972 Olympics 5,000 metres. Prefontaine actually ran a 5K distance faster than Viren, but the 40 metres handicap gave Viren the victory. This fact makes it difficult to label Viren a faster runner.

Moyizz shut the fuck up u stupid fatass piece of stupid shit it is an honor to run a 4:10 mile. People work for it through years of hard training u can't just say that you ran it. Your also fucking stupid because at age 7 a 4:10 mile would be a world record and if you reallly are 7 ur not allowed to have a YouTube.

@Moyizzo9196 if your seven you definitely did not run a 4:10 mile my friends is the best at my school and he runs about a 5:30 mile if your running a 4:10 mile you should be a professional.

Its a shame that pre was taken at such an untimely period. There will never be another like him. The magic is gone forever.

Please, people like Robo, stop posting your year of education and your PR on every single running video there is out there.... its ridicuous. "I'm 7 and I ran a 4:10 mile, I'm going sub 4 next spring." No, no one cares, please stop posting your PR's and your life aspirations on here as if someone truly cares. It's great if you're a good runner, but then, why feel the need to get reassurance on youtube?
As a runner, steve prefontaine is an inspiration to me, he inspires me constantly to give everything i have to win the race. its a shame he as taken early from us here in oregon
and one other note, whoever it is going around to ALL the videos with Steve Prefontaine in them, saying " Pre was my cousin". even though i doubt it, if he really was,then stop bragging about it on every video for bloody sake... wanker
