We really need a video of this race that doesn't look like it was recorded underwater with a 1980s camcorder.
It doesn't exist, unfortunately.
I actually believe video/footage of that race exists in better quality.
Prior to Jakob's 2 mile WR attempt in Paris 2023 the talked a bit about Komen in the Norwegian broadcast. And they showed a couple of seconds from Komen's Rieti race from 1996 (him crossing the finish line)
(I think you'll need a VPN in order to see it, as only people with Norwegian IPs are able to access content from NRK's (Norwegian National Broadcasting) web-tv site)
So I guess a video of better quality exists out there somewhere. (It wasn't like crystal clead 1080p HD, but I'd guess it was either 480p or 360p (as in LEGIT 480p/360p, not the supergrainy one, that is so common when it comes to older races on Youtube)
and where to you think "Ethiopian themed drums" came from? Gabe Jennings and his Stanford teammates in the early '80s, that's where.
Gabe Jennings isn't that old
Just because Gabe look like he takes the same supplements as Keith Richards does not mean he is the same age as Keith Richards. Cut Jennings a break he is only like 58 years old.
