Like Bill Bowerman played by Donald Sutherland said in fictional film ''Without Limits'' said He's a front runner , it may work in high school level ,but in international level it's a disaster, of course that was said about Steve Prefontaine ,played by Billy Crudup , but i think in this case of Montano this also applies. Just ask Charles Jock, Duane ''BANG" Solomon, Z.Tadese , Haile Haile Geb when he tryed to drop Bekele in 2003 in 10k. It just dumb!
fictional movie script snippet:
Donald Southerland: Don't be a front runner. It may work at the high school level, but at the international level, it's a disaster!
Jenny Simpson: Er, OK.
Nick Symmonds: True dat.
David Rudisha: Got it. Thanks.
In that same vein, Tadese, at least in that front-running he did in the Berlin 2009 10k, ended up, at least, with Silver, I believe, for his efforts--and a finish line finger wag to put the asterix after Bekele's "Sign of the cross."
But the prior poster's point still stands--the excessive front-running, regardless of its "Prefontaine" like praisable virtues--that style which Montano shares with, at least, Duane Solomon--doesn't have great prospects.
