think about the logic: a guy from peru beat them. Peru's at altitude. Peru and Bolivia and Ecuador commonly beat Brazil in soccer at altitude. It's no shame for a lowlander to lose at altitude to runners born at altitude.

Wow, I'm sure 99% of these posters have never done anything. Because you would know that if the times are ridiculously slow it may have been a tactical race. They went out in 2:15 at 800. Not going for time at that point. The race turned into a 400, whoever can sprint the fastest for 400-500 meters in heat and altitude. I'll guarantee they went into oxygen debt the last 200. Before you post try it yourself and then talk smack.

2 week altitude camp? How is that going to prepare you to win a competition like Pan Am? That is a joke! Jim Ryun and crew trained for a much longer time in preparation to compete down in Mexico City. This is an example of USATF and poor planning. Granted we may have sent a "B" squad but if the USA is going to send folks to represent the nation then at least do some proper preparation. Why spend the money to send a team and associated athletes and coaches? How hard would it have been to start planning last year to hold a 2-3 month camp in order to ensure a win in some of the distance events?
