In the 2 movies that I have seen, Prefontaine injuries his foot in different ways. One after falling while doing a chick upside down and the other falling into a pool. Which one, if any of these occurences really happened??

actually... neither of them.
I had a beer with Pat Tyson at a camp we were working at a couple of years ago, and I asked him specifically about that. He said that he hurt it doing something really mundane, and both directors wanted something more spectacular.
Now is the point were I state the way he actually hurt it, but I can't exactly remember, so I suppose I lose some credibility. I want to say he literally just hurt it on his coffee table or something, not very interesting.
the pool incident is the correct interpretation of the event. hollywood made up the other to make the scene more interesting.
I think he did it kicking some homo's a_ _!
If the pool incident is correct, i have a ligitimate question then. Why would Bowerman let his athletes go swimming at a div I national championship meet, just days before competition???
I think he did it while he was putting it in a homo's ass.
What do you mean by "it"?
He hurt it at a pool but not exactly as in the movie. I think it was on a diving board bolt rather than jumping off a roof.
The truth was he tried to kick Greg Louganis' ass and hit the bolt of the board instead. You are both right.
