Lasse Viren DVD - 1972 Munich Olympics 5K/10K!!!

Sebastian Coe: Born to Run

No British athlete in the history of track and field has attained more World Records or World Best times than Sebastian Coe, at last count: 12. At his peak in 1981, Coe was considered invincible, then came a series of injury and illness culminating in his dramatic withdrawal from the World Championships due to a rare blood disorder. This film features interviews and live footage of super miler Sebastian Coe. You will see many of his record runs and Olympic races, follow him during his workouts, examine his relationship with his coach/father, and interviews other principals, such as Steve Ovett, about what makes him tick. 1985, 52 minutes, once available from Films for the Humanities at a public performance cost this film is now rather rare to obtain. The narrator and director was Tony Maylam with Drummond Challis in the role of producer.

how come your ebay feedback sucks so bad? 90% is horrible dude.

Take a closer look: 90% as a buyer. When I tried to buy a People's Republic of China Hat (you know, the Olive Green Army hat with the PRC star on it), the seller refused to complete the transaction through Paypal. So I cancelled the order and he hit me with the deadly "Negative Feedback" as I did to him.

Is the Lasse Viren 5K/10K on a different DVD from the Seb Coe Born to Run?

You're an idiot.

I think its a legitimate question...so there!

Why won't you post outside USA ?

Wasn't there someone on here a long time ago that said they had a ton of distance races on tape? I remember hundreds of people gave there emails, but I figured it was bullshit. Was it?

Thank you for your interest in the Lasse Viren DVD. I will do my research regarding the rules for Ebay, Paypal and the U.S. Postal Service and I will try to do my best to offer the races at a global level.

If anyone can inform me on any possible restrictions which Ebay or Paypal might impose on such transactions, I would be interested in learning.

I believe you are referring to Trackhead.

You could try to list the dvd on the U.K. Ebay site: http://www.ebay.co.uk/ which has a large following throughout Europe.

I bot this DVD and posted it 1 month ago. Perhaps my post is still on this site (search archives).

It is of very good quality and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Feel free to email me for any questions.

I too have seen these races before. Very inspirational to see how Viren falls, gets up and later breaks away from the field in the 10k. They also show Gammoudi sitting in the inner grass of the track, looking very dissapointed and/or pissed.

In the 5K, you gotta love how Viren sprints away in the last 100m and the commentators say Prefontaine and Gammoudi are "out of gas." Great stuff.

what is the quality of this footage? is it black and white or color?

The two races (5K/10K) are in color.

and the quality?

did you get this dvd off run-insight?

Oh, man! Thanks for ruining the ending! ;-)

I just got mine today. Good quality footage. Obviously it's from an old tape so it's not exactly super sharp. But it's still good and complete.

No titles on the chapters, but that's a minor quibble. You really can't beat it for the price.
