  • @fastmover564 agreed

  • @xTeddyG You are right. In fact, both Prefontaine (22) and Viren (23) were newcomers, I think the two youngest in this race. You can sense their youthful vigor. Gammoudi (34) was an old fox with several medals from previous Olympics.

  • @Viren4Pre0 I don't think any of them were doping, both were respectful athletes. They were just naturally fast! :D

  • @UrbanAchiever84 First, I doubt that Pre was as short as you claim, second, Kenenisa Bekele and Haile Gebreselassie, easily the fastest and most accomplished distance runners in history, are both around 5'3 to 5'5 tall.

  • Notice when Pre takes the lead, with a mile to go, Viren is almost dead LAST!!!! LMAO!!!!

  • @fastmover564 All hearsay, just like when people accuse Viren.

  • @Viren4Pre0 I say again... where are you getting this "proof" from?

  • @fastmover564 The same proof for Pre that everyone wrongly used for Viren

  • @Viren4Pre0 And where does this proof come from?

  • He was extremely good for his age. Was a very young runner and had many years to do better.
