That would be the same Jurgan Straub, 1500 silver medalist in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

Waldemar Cierpinski was a steeplechaser as well.
What was his PB?
Wow! An eight year old thread.
Seattle in early May isn't always the best of weather. It definitely wasn't hot. According to wunderground.com the high temp was 55.

This post and thread are a little mixed up
I'm not sure the post is wrong, but in context, it does appear to confuse a bunch of other postings in the same thread
Ben Jipcho won the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch on 8:20.8
Henry Rono won the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton in 8:26.54.
Anders Garderud never won a Commonwealth Games, he was (is) Swedish
My vote, by the way, for the best steepler of the 70's would go to Garderud. He won Montreal with a WR. He may well have been beaten had the Kenyans been in Montreal, but they weren't. The same kind of statement could be made about Viren, Juantorena, probably even Walker--but in the Track and Field News ranking system, a WR in the Games counts for an awful lot. And Garderud did beat some big guys in the Games, including Malinowski and Kantanen

Marsh failed at the major events too often.
