  • Did Jordan ever have a bad game?

    Did Ali ever get knocked down?

    Did Ruth ever strike out?

    Of course they did!

    ALL athletes have their bad days, nobody is immune to them after all they are human.

    But u can't completely judge an athletes career based on 1 days results. Thats unfair to say the least.

  • truth, you know absolutely nothing about running first of all.

    secondly he Ran a 4:04 LAST mile in that race where he "didn't win the gold", and no one would have ran that unless he pushed the pace for them. He turned that race into a work of art. He didn't win, but he put out the most effort and left it all out there, and that is the essence of what Pre represents.

  • Still the greatest runner ever...........any other great runner will tell you they wished they had Pre's fire and guts on any given day. Watch Doc's about him and there are former champions that say he was an amazing runner.....Watch "Fire on the Track" the Steve Prefontaine story

  • what was Virens winning time in Munich? What was Pre's time in the Trials in Eugene?

    Virens Gold medal time 13:26.4 Pre's U.S. Trials time 13:22.8

    where's the problem here? People need to get off this "he finished 4th kick" Should have ran the same negative splits he did against young (or faster) and he would have had it....problem was they walk thru the first 2 miles...not Pre's style

  • he ran hard and he gave his best.

  • he wasn't an amazing miler. He still had a very fast time, but he wasn't a legend in the mile. He probably would have lapped those guys in the 3 mile

  • I can't believe anyone would criticize Pre because he lost a race. Does losing one race invalidate the unbelievable accomplishments of his all too short career? I don't thinks so. Pre is golden. And if you think you can do better, then by all means prove it.

  • Stand in a mans moccasins for 2 weeks. Then Jjudge him.

  • Did first run the exact same time as the miracle mile? Youd think Pre would have done better on a 200m track, being pretty short.

  • thats my friends great granpa no joke
