Fantastic! He was a hero of mine back then and I used to pretend to be him when I went running! And smashing the world record by 8 seconds is phenomenal.

were there any black distance runners in 1973?

I couldn't see enough of Bedford in those great days and thought him invincible. The disappointment of the 72 games made me miserable for days. I was on holiday at the time with friends and desperately trying to get them out of Conway Castle and into a pub where we could watch him run.

Training too many miles destroyed Bedford. Had they known the sport science of today, Bedford would have been saved from the ever-injuried career.
A runner from Hong Kong

@ARRISIPPY I remember Dave Bedford very well though I was only a child when Väätäinen and Viren beat him. Sad for him, but Vladimir Kuts days were over in Olympics and so on. I think Bedford could have won Marathon some day but his career was by injuries pretty short, as you may know.

@FinnMove Bedford is the reason I like athletics|! Sportsmen are,by and large,pretty boring up close,which is fine.... I just remember Bedford appearing like an explosion when I was in my early teens,all mouth and attitude,,and I was hooked.Even after he got stuffed by Vaatainen in '71 and Viren in 72 I still thought he was fantastic!
