Credit Limit wrote:~ that grainy clip shows 5 secs of the 2nd bend from the final and he is in lane 1 and being drafted
is this a joke ???
it shows good amount of prelim where he starts out in lane 1 & dead last makes ridiculous, ruinous sprint to catch up, then cruise thru to final
that already wrecked him more than anyone else in prelim who made final !!!
& he was ill that meet !!!
the vid shows him just passing the black boy just after 550y & passing him wide, not inside, so obviously didn't run inside lane beforehand, or if he did, he made big swerve to get past him !!!
~ it shows nothing of bend 3
is this a joke ???
learn to think
he was 4th at the bell !!!, with 2 guy wall in front with black-boy leading
he was in lane 2 last we saw him approaching bell !!!
this automatically inbuilds extra distance running wide when entering 3rd bend !!!
the 2-kid wall ahead of him woudn't have just let him thru in lane 1 !!!
he wouda had to run well wide of those 2 kids, likely hugely into lane 2, which is no shock as he was already in lane 2 last we see of him on 1st lap !!!
It shows him at 500m on the curb being drafted
is this a joke ???
he is running wide of 2nd place guy on bend to overtake him !!!
no drafting there
No discernible extra distance
is this a joke ???
he was 4th at bell not just assumed from vid but reports
but vid shows that just before bell he is in lane 2 !!!
automatically extra run on 3rd bend !!!
to get to anywhere close to leader by 500, he wouda had to have the 2 guys directly just let him thru ???
why woud they do that ?!?!
he wouda had to run hugely wide of them on 3rd bend & he already virtually certainly entered that well into lane 2 !!!
~ it shows some of last bend where he is tight on inside
is this a joke ???
it is Legend he crushed field by 660y !!!
it was automatically 100% assumed he ran last 220y tight in lane 1 !!!
why are you stating absolute absurdity ?
who on earth wouda expected Ryun to have run wide on last 220y when well clear of field ???
No extra distance
is this a joke ?
see above
~ no account of race has ever mentioned it as being windy
is this utter total joke ???
can't you observe a vid ???
can you not analyse ???
at 2'07 & then at 2'29 into vid, the pennants on infield are hugely shaking on the field, NOT motionless
that is wrecking wind for a 2-laps !!!, likely ~ 1s if 0 wind !!!
Offer reference or reliable source stating otherwise
eh ???
can't you observe ???
what kind of analysis can you offer if you can't observe wind in a vid ???
~ he wasn't ill
is this a joke ???
were you his physician ???
were you treating him in '66 ???
here are his words :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkTPCspfwCI
You make it sound like he was dying
he was in no shape to be running that day, let alone run 2 races !!!
i'm sure you have medical qualification & were capable of offering opinion to Ryun's medical condition in '66
impress the board ???
So ill he ran 2 more races the next day
no
totally "flat" & 4'02+ next day for only individual race, when he woud run 3'51 barely month after when healthy !!!
how come he coud only run 4'02+ on Terre Haute asphalt, but month+ later run 3'51.3 on dirt ???
why coudn't he run 3'50 on Terre Haute asphalt ???
Accounts of the race say he had a 'bit of a sore throat' and that he had 'a tremendous burst of energy' at 500yds
is this a joke ???
see above vid
if you are a physician, then impress us with your counter-diagnosis
~ offer papers or reliable sources that show asphalt track was 'nowhere near as quick as '70s track'?
is this a joke ???
this rubbish got soft/sticky when weather was hot
it also was rubbish as chipped/smashed after every race
it needed repairing after every serious meet with filler as it got smashed apart
joke track !!!
impress us :
where were asphalt tracks in major meets in '70 ???
Total hyperbole
is this a joke ???
your post has been worst balderdash i have seen posted here !!!
