Pre Lives
Добавлен 31 июл 2018
Steve had the guts to say and do what others couldn’t or simply wouldn’t.
For that, we honor him.

Steve Prefontaine loses impressively in 1500m - 8/2/1972
OSLO, Norway, Aug. 2, 1972
Pekka Vasala of Finland overtook the 21‐year‐old Prefontaine with 330 yards left in the metric mile and registered an eight‐yard victory in 3 minutes 38.3 seconds, the equivalent of a 3:56 mile.
But Pre, who had paced the 1,500 for the first three laps as a favor to a friend, still managed to sustain his kick on the last quarter-mile and finished second with the fastest 1,500 of his career at the time, 3:39.4.
“Vasala didn't pull away as well as I thought he would, and I feel good about being able to sprint with him,” said Pre. “It's my first competition since the [United States] trials, and I was just running the carbon out of my system. These guys will be paying ...

Steve Prefontaine runs 3,000m American Record on 8/3/1972
Просмотров 134 тыс.5 лет назад
Steve Prefontaine runs 7:44.2 in Oslo, Norway on August 3, 1972, running the American Record at that time. The night before, Pre had run the equivalent of a 3:57 mile in the 1,500‐meter run. “I think if I hadn't run last night, I would have had a shot at the world record,” Pre said of Kipchoge Keino's 7:39.6, the world record at that time. “I feel really strong and the crowd felt like home.”
When it comes to God people hate the truth. Ye must be born again. John 3:7.
My dad and I enjoyed and loved watching Steve run in person. Unfortunately, that was only a few times . Steve would have shattered many records .
Prefontaine was one of the gutsiest runners I've seen, but he was a tactical nightmare...shame he didn't get more time to hone his racecraft
He was a product of a different time.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. Nice touch.
He had an interesting arm swing and his head seemed to be always tilted left. Makes me think that he is already racing around that corner before he gets to it.
Pre was a great competitor and only 21 when he lost in Munich. It's so sad that he didn't live long enough to fully mature as a runner. He was the Caitlan Clark of distance running in the early senenties
Amazing to see how slow these guys are compared to today's athletes. Must be all the doping.
@@ezOqekuRitusohI Evolution, my friend.
Nice memories
I never cared for Prefontaines running style. He ran a very poor race in '72 at the Olympics, surging to the front way too early and depleted his reserves and failed to medal. Big failure.
Hope you enjoyed the vid
A beast!
Number of runner?!?
Pre won the three mile in the first track meet i ever attended with my brother in 1971. I became a runner the next year and was hooked. I still run today and did my speed workout in the northwest summer twilight last night. RIP to our great young man died too young.
Prefontaine often lost to Finns.
I would like to see at least one video where Steve Prefontaine wins. 😎
m.ruclips.net/video/mg5IlJdfXRc/видео.html&pp=ygUQcHJlZm9udGFpbmUgMzAwMA%3D%3D There you go, same meet as this 1500
Look how tidy a runner Vasala was, maximizing energy efficiency. Pre was a mess by comparison.
Pre was not miler, he was a grinder. Grinders don’t win world class mile races, thoroughbreds do.
Steve was a big hero of mine and I got a chance to stand next to him during a Pac-8 Cross Country Championship meet at UCLA (where I was a student) in about 1971 or so. I ran up the tail between the dorms to watch him go by and cheer him on (gently patting his shoulder). I ran back down to the finish line as he wound down along Sunset Boulevard, finishing far ahead of everyone in typical Pre fashion. Always would go to Drake Stadium during track season whenever Oregon came to town. I'm currently doing a series of "Heroes" oil paintings, and Steve is one of them. RIP, buddy.
I never really rated this runner, he bombed in the Olympics and even Ian Stewart beat him. But I do believe if he didn’t die 76 would be a good Olympics for him
Pre and I were freshmen together at Oregon and my girlfriend and his were friends. Got to see him often at school. Was standing with Mac Wilkins one day and Pre went by and Mac said “hi World.” Asked him why he called Pre “World” and Mac said “ because he’s world famous!” And he was.
Awesome! Be like Pre Pre lives ❤
The 7% advantage of blood doping. The Americans were slow on the uptake but once they learned..... Livestrong
I attended the same school as Garry Bjorklund who competed against Pre. In fact where Garry trained was 5 miles from my house. I’m sorry Pre died that way!!! It didn’t seem that Steve was a born again child of God. That is the REAL tragedy!!! God help us. We love the destination, it is the he map or the directions we hate.
Dude, you are making Duluth folk look awful. Be quiet.
Pre is def an icon. But......... Thinknof his 7:44.2 then think about Daniel Komens 7:20.67................ Literally half a lap ahead !!!!!
People do stupid things....
Legend
❤
Secretariat of the 3,000m run!
五十年前だぜ！
Yet another RUclips view of Prefontaine losing to a non-American🤣😂🤣
As I scroll down, it's pretty clear that you are obsessed with Prefontaine. Did he steal your girlfriend or f*** your mom?
To think how great this man would have been if he had more time.
Never heard of Vasala. Smooth runner.
You clearly don't know anything about track. Which is why you are watching Prefontine videos. Vasala won the 1500 Gold in 1972 Olympics.
@@RK-um9tu why are so angry?
"I'm not even tired"
Think of what Pre would have accomplished with monetary support he needed to make ends meet and get ahead. The AAU had been squeezing the life out of American athletes. He persevered nevertheless, championing their cause and was ultimately victorious, if but posthumously.
A bit of Pre's spirit is alive & well in each of us who remember him especially when we run. RIP Steve
Prefontaine's block of another runner at 3:30... scumbaggery. Unsportsmanlike, cowardly, and bitchmade. A tarnish to his reputation.
Did Pre win any top competitive race?... i keep hearing how "great" he was but i keep watching him lose these big races
Pre held every American record from 2000 meters to 10000 meters. Never held a world record. Rarely raced outside the USA. Ran in the 1972 Olympics when he was 21 years old, but died at the young age of 24. What might have been? At the time he was America's greatest middle distance runner. A legend.
@@csumner9134 At the time Jim Ryan was the greatest middle distance runner and a legend. Prefontine was a just a loser who did nothing of importance in track.
Of course not. He won nothing internationally. And never came close to setting any world records.
@@RK-um9tu Well, your first mistake was spelling Ryun incorrectly. That tells me a lot. Prefontaine is a legend here in the US who dominated the distance races domestically for several years. He was very competitive in world competition, but had yet to really make his mark, having died before he reached his peak. Anyone who knows what he is talking about would not be dismissing Prefontaine as "just a loser".
@@RK-um9tu You could at least spell Ryun's name correctly, I'm so sick of it being spelled wrong 99% of the time.
I ran cross country from 7-12 grades and many races outside of school. We used to watch the movie “prefontaine” on the bus to big CC matches. It would get us so pumped up and I still can’t watch or think much of his story without tearing up
"Without limits", is better. Not a Jared Lehto fan.
Everytime I watch the 76 Olympic 5000, that last drive with viren,dixon, quax and the German I always imagine him with them. What a race it was but what a race it could of been!
What are you talking about? Steve blew it in the '72 Olympics and wouldn't have done much in '76
no DOPPING E> AFRICANS>>>WH))) WAZZ @ KNOW IT WOOD BE NOTHEN BUT THEM>>>SOON!!!!WORLD HAS BEEN LOOSEN INTEREST!!LOL
I am 74 now and have Pre posters still up in my house. I feel we have the female version in Katelyn Tuohy.
Historisk filmopptak og Steve Prefonteins 3ooom. på 7.44.2 som er en god tid 51 år etterpå.
These videos are the heritage of world athletics. Thank you very much for keeping and offering them. Greetings from Chile.
Estas grabaciones son patrimonio del atletismo mundial. Mil gracias por conservarlos y difundirlos.
Don't care for these sportscasters but love to see pre. Today I'm running
Watching pre run 😜 is so satisfying ☺️😅
Reminds me of Oregon's best-ever distance runner, Ed Cheserek!
Except Pre was/is.
Run Against him
People forget just how good he was, Munich had a lot going against him allowing the kickers extra days of rest. He was also instrumental in the design of Nike, shoes that were originally made by Bill Bowerman. When Pre first wore them they were made in pieces but he would take them out for a run and literally destroy them in a short distance. He was the one who mentioned changing the toe to a one piece and Bowerman’s former track students, Phil Knight got backing from the best investor of all time in Paul Allen ( a guy who seemed to be in right place right time being money man for both Nike and Microsoft.)
"Munich had a lot going against him allowing the kickers extra days of rest. " As much as I was a fan of Pre in my youth, I never understood this reasoning. He complained that the break in competition that was taken due to the terrorist attacks had given the athletes who had competed in the 10,000 extra rest before the 5,000. But they had still run a hard 10,000, especially Viren, who set a WR in that race despite falling well into it. Pre, on the other hand, had run no other races and was therefore coming into the 5,000 with completely fresh legs. So he still had an advantage over the athletes who had run the 10,000m, even if they did get more rest than the would have under the original schedule.
This race was 50 years ago. Half a century. Time really does fly.
So sad so young 💔
