  • vasala said back then "it is suicidal for other runners to copy my hill sessions without adequate background". so i guess he was in ultimate shape. he looked very relaxed, i believe he could have ran even faster than 3:36

    Pekka Vasalal o kyl maailman hienoin juoksu tyyli, ei edes miesten 5000m huippumiehillä oo nii hienoo tyylii vaik Kenenisa Bekelel, Daniel Kipchirchir Komenil ja Bernard Lagat:l o hieno tyyli mut Vasala o kyl...se o virheetö!

    (GBR)

    Pekka Vasala has the most greatest running style ever! No one, even mens 5000m have no such a great style like Bekele, Kipchirchir Komen and Lagat have of caurse great style/tech. but when Vasala runs...there is no mistakes in that style!

  • @MrJuha82 Veljenpoika tietääkseni.

  • Vasala's sandhill sessions were taken from New Zealandians. He did those session a lot. Maybe that is why he ended his carreer at age of 25. He trained too much.

  • @Badvinezhad Onko Samuli Vasala sukua Pekalle?? Samuli oli lahjakas mutta....

  • 1972: Vajaan puolen tunnin sisään kaksi kultamitalia Suomeen!

    2011: Vajaan 10 vuoden sisään kaksi kultamitalia Suomeen!

  • Olisipa ollut Mertaranta selostamassa ;)

  • well the point was not making a record but winning the race, he wanted to finish Keino in the last meters, and so he did..tactic.

  • @Badvinezhad Ovett and Coe had also very beautiful running styles. When you are in top shape your running looks always so easy.

  • Keino got smoked. Wow... On another note, it's funny to see so many white guys in an olympic final. Just seems off compared to what races look like now with 3/4 of the top guys coming from Kenya or Ethiopia.

  • covered the last 800 meters in 1:48.9.
