will you 70's losers please stop bringing pre in to modern track discussions. Don't curse Sol by comparing him to a guy who ran decently fast for his time but never won any major international competitions. Can't these new guys that are doing great be in a league of their own with out having to be compared to your fossils. All you guys want to remember the 70's as some golden era of track when it didn't really happen. They were more competitive than guys in the 90's were but they really didn't dominate or even win all that much.
didn't win all that much? Wottle 72 800 gold, shorter 72 gold schuls 64 gold mills 64 gold shorter 76 silver ryun 68 silver moore 72 4th pre 72 4th place AT 21. That's the olympics man, all of it....
