Thanks--That is very cool.
Gotta love that Suzy.
Nice clip. Thanks.
very cool but I wish they had a text banner stating what race was being shown.

Didn't see Decker.
Too bad that whoever produced the film didn't spell her name right at the very beginning (it is Suzy not Susie).
I thought I saw Decker in one of the races...I guess I was wrong. Boy did Suzy and Plumber have some fierce battles! I just love this clip. I don't think there is a runner out there - male or female - with as graceful of a stride as Suzy's.
It's Plumer not Plumber.
Perhaps Patty Sue Plummer.
i disagree. it often looks like she's straining.

You've never seen Suzy run? That "stride" includes a leg that flops all around like it's broken or something.
Look again.

And Haile's right arm flares out when he runs! So what!
Actually it's PattiSue Plumer.
I think the video clip is sad. All that potential. These years later one has to think her career had more disappointments and lost opportunities than most.
One of those chicks looks like me, but I can't be certain.
Well you are gonna be disappointed when you have to compete with drug cheats abroad and at home...
Doina, don't you mean one of those guys?
A large portion of the lost opportunities and disappointments were of her own doing...sure she was a major casualty of the drug outlaw Regina Jacobs. But Suzy spent alot of her career trying to be the pin up girl of t and f. Calendars and photo shoots and commercials instead of nose to grindstone. And in the end her mental deficits showed through; she was not mentally disciplined and honed and strong enough to handle the stress and pressure of the largest races in her life: Olympics and World Champs. I think it's sad. What a waste. I'll never forget what she said after she was knocked out of yet another heat at an Oly or World Champs (can't remember which it was) "those girls are strong out there. There were alot of elbows and pushing and shoving". That was the "reason" she didn't advance. Her career was an endless litany of "reasons" why she didn't get the job done at the most important times.
Yep, and I am sure your career ended in what? Junior High?
