Some say Rono was drunk or hungover in the race, I just think It got to him mentally and he shut down
Rono was well before my time. When he won his last championship in 1979 I was 5 years old. My older brothers were runners and I can remember hearing them talk about him all of the time. He was one of their heroes. I had heard that Rono developed a drinking problem but has since overcome that and is doing well and is successful.
