And I really loved the part where Peter cured cancer and saved that little child who was stuck in the well . . .
But seriously, both Snell and Elliot are two of my favorite athletes to watch when/if ever I can see old film on them. They're simply marvelous runners. But in Elliot's defense, Snell never did come close to Elliot's 1500m WR (3:35.6), which was roughly the equivalent of a 3:52 mile; that had to wait for Ryun to demolish. But both of them were among the best racers ever, back in the dark ages when people had to run on cinders and the whole sport had no money in it at all. The one advantage of the professional era is that I suspect that with money around, Elliot would've met Snell in the '64 Olympic 1500m final (and probably wouldn't have left the race for a last minute kick, either); conceivably, both might have still run through '68 to meet Ryun and Keino (just like El-G ran in '96, '00, '04).
Also, I believe Elliot and Bayi are the only two athletes in the sub-4 era to set a 1500m WR in a major championship final (though Keino's 3:34.9 at altitude probably should count too).
