Wow, I must say I'm so impressed with this thread. This is the first time, ever, that I've heard people speculate if Prefontaine would have won the 5k in Montreal against Viren. This is such a clever think piece and to imagine, no one has ever contemplated this topic ever. It's not like people have talked about this exact thread so many times that it's a pointless discussion or anything. To the writer of this thread I give my utmost gratitude for expanding the breath of academic discussion about track and field. Bravo my dear friend bravo!!
