Best part about this was Shorter couldn't do the commentary cause he was in the race.

@LeanaJo76 one name you fail to mention is Gerry Lindgren .... He was "Pre" before Pre was....

Wow I think that's Abebe Bikila in a wheelchair at the start? 0:16

Brilliant thanks for uploading. One thing I liked seeing was the commentators holding up their phones at 2:53 to get the roar of the crowd when Shorter crosses the finish. The sound of those commentaries on the olympics and other big sporting events abroad was really something special. It just doesn't sound the same today

I was happy and honored to have seen (on live tv) a fellow American (Shorter) win this marathon. I was still in junior high school!

@thISxTHplacE And yet ANOTHER WHINER for Pre! Does everyone notice that Pre supporters:
1) need a bag for their sweatsuits
2) Need a bag for their shoes
3) Need a bag for all of their EXCUSES for why he got his ass kicked! LMMFAO!

@VirenKickedPresAss He was also 24 when he died. Not even at the prime years of his life. Dick. And for someone that hates Pre on every running video, it sure seems like you know a hell of a lot about him.

Shorter was WAY better than Pre. Shorter has TWO medals, and his WORST finish was 5th, and Pres BEST finish was FOURTH. Sure, Pre could beat him in a 5k, but he had to go all out to do it, and for any race longer than 5k, Shorter DESTROYED Pre.
I got this clip from a old VHS I had. It's called Olympiad--Marathon. It's a documentary of all the marathon victories up to the point of the video release. I converted it to my computer, however for some reason I couldn't get the sound to work when I put it on YouTube.
