@mangroveoz My comment was @mytime81, who was talking about the Mexico City games in 1968. Hence the "@mytime81" next to my comment. So, actually yes, it sure did.

@Traviskula It sure didn't - the 1960 Olympics were in Rome.

I suspect we won't see too many Olympic races like this again, where one athlete so stamps his authority over the other runners, who were no slouches. Compare this with the World Champs 5000m in Osaka, where everyone ran as if scared of their own shadows, nobody prepared to have a real go until the last 400m. Fear of defeat rather than passion for victory.

Nothing to do with sophisticated training regime. Ethiopia was not colonised and all the other African countries were under occupation. Colonial masters never gave them a chance to feature. Look at the Olympics of 68 and see how they took it by storm after independence of most countries!!!
