I often watch Dave's Olympic race. It was so neat to watch him come back from so back in the pack to win it. I watched it then and was very proud of him.
I watched that race live on tv in Europe as a twelve year old and I remember it like yesterday. For us Europeans Dave Wottle personified the quintessential American trait: everything is possible and the sky is the limit.
David Wottle a class act and a gifted and natural talent. He was not even at 85% when he won the 800 meter final after an injury he sustained 6 weeks prior to the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany. (Former Professional & World Class Athlete) JJK
You were good enough to win 1500 metres in Munig. You left your finishing too late. That 800 m I remember perfectly well, I was watching it live on tv.

No matter how many times I watch that Olympic comeback it still makes me marvel is he going to make it?!! Amazing to watch.
I feel the same JL. It’s the best race I’ve ever seen. Seeing him come through the pack is like poetry. 🇬🇧👍.
One of our greatest champions, and still a champion.
interviewer forgot to turn the mic back to himself when he asked a question. but thank you!
