Pre has been my hero beginning in my early running days starting in 1970. I have coached runners for most of my adult life and used Pre’s motto Anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. I still live by that motto today in 2024 and brought my kids up following this motto. Thanks Pre, you are gone but never forgotten
You've got three years on me, @joemac4880. I started running in '73 - in Kelso, WA, year-round (XC and on the track). We idolised Pre. Then I was a walk-on at the Univ of Washington. Our coach showed us a clip of Pre winning the NCAA XC champs a couple of years beforehand. Again, inspirational.
What impressed me most about Steve was how well spoken he was. In the interviews they played he always seemed to have a great presence of mind for such a young man.
What a great loss for sport..a legendary runner that still inspires me and a lot of people around the world...we love you forever pre...thanks for all you have acomplished in your short life and god bless you.
Do you know if this is the actual original doc? Fire on the Track? Seen 3 different films with the same title on here and im just curious if this one is legit. Thx 4 any info.
This brings me joy and sadness to watch. He was one of the best ever. I've been into running since I was 5 in 1970. I still run everyday, just not as fast as I once was. R.I.P. Pre. Thanks for making running fun.
Linda does tours in coos bay nowadays. I guess it’s an all day event. I’m looking forward to checking out Oregon after the virus and her tour is a major to do on my list. I love everything Prefontaine stood for!
Just now watched, Fire On The Track, the Steve Prefontaine story. Really epitomized someone who was honest In his attempt to better his chosen sport. An outright tragedy he really didn't get to have his day.
you have added more to this video. I am happy with it. But I wish you had put my name on my picture so people would realize Steve had 2 sisters. I was 9 years older than Steve and his half-sister. He never thought of me as a half-sister. I was always "his sister and I am proud of my relationship and what I have done in his memory in Eugene. Thank you .
Neta P hey Neta I was not quite aware Steve had 2 sisters. I just found out about Linda’s tours she does in coos bay! I’m super excited to do it one day when I’m on the west coast after this whole virus. Do you have anything to do with it ? Anyways nice to know. The world misses you’re brother still to this day in October 2020!
+John Mouris Lasse Viren was one of the best distance runners of all time and won the double in 76 at his absolute prime of 27. There is no conceivable way he would have stomped the guy he lost to 4 years earlier and who ran double the events and 3 times the distance...
23:59 sums it up well-hey I loved Pre and the way he raced, but front-running doesn't always cut it in the Olympic Finals- Viren was in his prime and a tactical master-the field in 1976 was pretty decent-Rod Dixon, Dick Quax etc...all had 1500m closing speed....
I was almost 8 when Dad came home with the news that Steve Prefontaine had died. I was just beginning to run myself and I knew Dad to really like Pre. The days rt after his death were really bad for our running community in Bakersfield, CA. A lot of the post-72 running crowd took off after Frank Shorter's gold medal in the marathon as was to be believed. Steve Prefontaine coulda started his own running boom. It would have worked. RIP Pre. True legend
If Pre was going to continue, then he was going to live up to what he said he was going to do. The confidence that we can do what we set our minds to, rested upon Pre’s shoulders. His life remains an unfinished symphony. My father once said to me , “You can do anything you put your mind to”. Maybe it was the World War II mentality, to do or die trying.
Rob Ford, I agree that Steve Prefontaine was charismatic but a terrible tactician. Personally I admire much more Dave Wottle's 1972 olympic gold medal for winning from being way behind the pack in one of the most exciting 800m races of all time. I think that Prefontaine could've matured and improved as a runner if he hadn't died before he peaked. But it's highly unlikely that he would ever have won an olympic gold medal. He couldn't win any medal in 1972 - most likely because he was too cocky and inexperienced. He attacked far too early and then ran out of steam on the last 200 m. Prefontaine's 5000 m race was the polar opposite of Dave Wottle's race to the gold medal. But Prefontaine was also running against the Finnish legend Lasse Viren - who might or might not have been one of the first athlets who practiced blood doping when it was still perfectly legal! Viren repeated his 1972 gold medal performance in 1976 in Montreal. I really don't think that even an improved Prefontaine could've beaten Lasse Viren in 1976. And in 1980 the US didn't send an olympic team to Moscow for political reasons. Therefore even an improved Prefontaine would've simply had no window of opportunity to win a gold medal. But since he died so young he became a somewhat overrated legend - a bit like James Dean. And since Prefontaine has been professionally connected with a small company called "Nike", this company pushed and utilized Prefontaine's name and legend when it wasn't so small anymore...
Colin was doing something he felt was right in the world beyond sports. Sounds like Steve had somewhat similar feelings towards the things he was passionate about. I don't have a huge problem with people using there platform to express what they they believe in.
@@davidneumann2705 "somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it" Pre is wearing an Olympic jersey and he is wearing a pair of nike swoosh. It is a wall hanging. I rolled it up for safe keeping. I also got a book on Pre and about his races and it logs his times and places he took in his races.
jerome frazier no way!!! That’s really really cool. Is the book the one he talks about his first trip to Germany the town basically paid for so he had the money to go run ? He mighta been 16 at the time ?
Saddest truth that has not been talked about: If pre had not drank that night and/or had he had a ROLL BAR on that little car with his FIRST Nike bonus He might have lived to an old age What a loss He was perhaps the best runner ever The "man o war" of running He does live on Pre lives in all of us
Why, but why must all American documentaries always have such loud and never-ending soundtracks, drowning the most important thing... the commentary!? I'll never get it.
Didn't know steve when I ran and thought I invented alternates 200m. Steve tan 30,40 alternates I ran 33,36 alternates. Was running 5:40 miles dame as Steve. And led 300m against likes of Ian newhouse, Ian Gordon Andromeda Jackson. All 45,46 quarter milers. I must have gone sub 33 when my best was 36.ibeas leading at 300 when I blacked out still running seized up and puked at finish. I always led races only mostly die .some races I won however.. Never gave unbranded my heart out.
Lasse Virén is without a doubt one of the greatest athletes ever and in every respect rightly so, but: once again I did NOT wait for his interview like I guess 99% of other Finns because, once again, I knew he would be the only one who needs dubbing. Now, I don't want to be incredibly petty about this already too familiar feature even from our maybe the most celebrated sportsman (after a couple of hockey players and racedrivers), but still the very thought that the man can't answer simplest of questions in English, despite having travelled all over the world in his career while representing a western democracy with acknowledged education system and being later even a member of parliament for several years makes me wince at least a little. Ok his real profession was a policeman but still. (: p)
Absolutely brilliant as Steve prefontaine was too. Probably the greatest ever American & world athlete & so inspiring & gutsy. Only 24 when he passed away & could have been in 4 more olympics from 5k to 10k & eventually marathon & winning them all. Steve was honest & hard working & never cheated although lasse viren blood doped which was legal then but became illegal later on. Steve didn't need to blood dope or cheat as he was as honest & such a hero to everyone.
I was training as a bicycle racer in Santa Cruz CA when a girl I liked said she was running the 1978 Wharf to Wharf race. It's just a fraction under a 10 K course and so I paused my 400 mile a week cycle training regime and instead ran on the beach for 6 days before the race and took the day before off. I got to the starting area early but figured out by the size of the official sign up line I would still be in line when the starter pistol went off so instead I went up to see the start line and look over the Frank Shorter type racers at the tape ready to run their race. I was looking at them and standing on the sidewalk when the race started. I just started running. I was trying to keep near the leaders but quickly fell behind. I think I ran a 6:15 or 6:30 first mile which I felt for too fast for me. I slowed up the next mile and ran a 7:20 2nd mile and then accelerated to 7:00 for the 3rd, 4th and 5th mile and then went into a longer stride and full out sprint for last 1/2 mile to Capitola Wharf. The time on my scuba diver watch was 41 minutes flat as I ran across the finishline. Somebody said that was a Top 10% finish that year. As a 23 year old young buck I was not very impressed with my performance. Now at age 68 and looking back on only training my running muscles for 6 days before the race I realize I could have improved my time if I trained as runner a bit more seriously. As is was I continued my cycle training 400 miles a week up and down the CA coast and up n down the steepest hills I could find near Santa Cruz. Only after seeing the performance of a 16 year old Greg LeMond did I decide to focus on writing about world Champion athletes rather than trying to be one. See the reviews of my book on Amazon: Champion: A Story of the Happy Life of Roman Lefthanded Losinski (Champion Book Series) www.amazon.com/dp/1545108692/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_gl_i_RDQQH6ZX7B8R138P94VQ
He was the best American distance runner and, that's why, a big star in States. However, world's best distance runners were European at that time. He noticed it at last at 1972 Olympics. But he was only 21 years when he came 4th in 5000m at Olympics. If he had been alive at 1976 with improved running technique and more tactical experience he could have won 2 Olympic gold medals. His 5000m at Munich is a textbook example of bad tactical running. There are few Olympic champions such as David Rudisha who would won with any tactics. Lasse Viren was a tactical genius but, in my opinion, not as talented as Pre.
have to agree here-as Ian Stewart mentioned it was a deep field and a lot of runners with more experience than Pre-Gamouddi was the 5000 m gold medalist from 1968...sad to see that we never got to see how he would have done in '76!
Every time get teary-eyed watching Without Limits (Donald Sutherland as Bowerman with his speech in Münich no less effective) - with all the legal substances of course! - and thinking Pre amongst all this national pride aroused by Viren: still fascinating, still something impossible to get back.
He would run exactly the same. That's what made him a legend, the ability to win despite of his tactic. He had no tactic at all, his tactic was to run at such high intensity until everyone else simply gives up. That's what he would do in 1976, and I believe he'd be successful.
@Richard Milliken He never held the amateur record if that makes you happier. I dont care if the rest of the world was paid or not, he never held the amateur record which is the record that most people were interested in.
Anyone see Paula Radcliffe as a women Steve Prefontaine? Both finished 4th in the olympics because of lack of 400m speed, both run hard and front run. Maybe if steve hadnt died he wouldve done very well in the marathon....
He even said that in Track &Field news. ‘It was set up for Gamoudi and Viren. If 2 miles had gone by in 8:40 it would have put crap in their legs ‘ but they went by in8:46 /50 almost walking .
Pre has been my hero beginning in my early running days starting in 1970. I have coached runners for most of my adult life and used Pre’s motto Anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. I still live by that motto today in 2024 and brought my kids up following this motto. Thanks Pre, you are gone but never forgotten
You've got three years on me, @joemac4880. I started running in '73 - in Kelso, WA, year-round (XC and on the track). We idolised Pre. Then I was a walk-on at the Univ of Washington. Our coach showed us a clip of Pre winning the NCAA XC champs a couple of years beforehand. Again, inspirational.
What impressed me most about Steve was how well spoken he was. In the interviews they played he always seemed to have a great presence of mind for such a young man.
Good point, I'm really up on track and forgot how young he was in those interview!!!
That's a "pure guts" comment.
What a great loss for sport..a legendary runner that still inspires me and a lot of people around the world...we love you forever pre...thanks for all you have acomplished in your short life and god bless you.

What a legend, gone too soon too young. will always be in our minds! Go PRE forever!
Pre.....nothing short of the best......legend
nothing short of fourth place!!
spoony smalls so focus only on his bad races. It can happen esp at that level.
spoony... what a needless comment...
Rest in peace Pre, I hope you're trekking across the heavens.
I watched Prefontaine on Netflix. Couldn't hold my tears towards the end.
Just flew from Daytona Beach, Fl ➡➡To Eugene, Oregon, just to pay respects to Pre at his famous rock..
one of my idols
i would love to be reborn as an average high school runner in like...1970.
Just now watched, Fire On The Track, the Steve Prefontaine story.
Really epitomized someone who was honest In his attempt to better his chosen sport. An outright tragedy he really didn't get to have his day.
Is this the actual original documentary? - Fire on the Track
" this is my first meet of the new year, and that's not a bad way to start out the new year AGAIN. " LOL. I love that part.
His legacy will live forever, GO PRE!!!.
Happy birthday legend.

@55:22
there's no doubt in my mind he would have destroyed the field in 76 definitely one of the best
+John Mouris
Lasse Viren was one of the best distance runners of all time and won the double in 76 at his absolute prime of 27. There is no conceivable way he would have stomped the guy he lost to 4 years earlier and who ran double the events and 3 times the distance...
One of the best dopers of all time too
Yes, Viren, one of the Original dopers, the Finns....I know, I'm Finn.................Pre, clean and no dope
Pre loved running too much to do any sort of drugs or take any sort of enhancer.
23:59 sums it up well-hey I loved Pre and the way he raced, but front-running doesn't always cut it in the Olympic Finals- Viren was in his prime and a tactical master-the field in 1976 was pretty decent-Rod Dixon, Dick Quax etc...all had 1500m closing speed....

Wow... what a special documentary, about 'that little hell-cat'... great stuff...
A great American, such a competitor
I remember when I first broke 5 minutes and thought I was a stud. Taking 60 seconds off that is a totally different level.
Amazing can only imagine what he could of done
If Pre was going to continue, then he was going to live up to what he said he was going to do. The confidence that we can do what we set our minds to, rested upon Pre’s shoulders. His life remains an unfinished symphony. My father once said to me , “You can do anything you put your mind to”. Maybe it was the World War II mentality, to do or die trying.

How Nike go from someone great out outspoken as Pre for what is right in sports. To Colin Kapernickle who takes a knee for what he believes.

Pre was a real American who loved his country and raised his flag! He saw real injustice done. Well spoken brand fraze
@Richard Milliken Watch the news it is already happened and will again. I have made the scene of one.

It goes without saying!! Pre is 100,000 times bigger than Lasse Viren!!! Viren was only a 4 time Olympic winner. Pre is the guy!!!
"Only" a four-time winner?? On the other hand, Pre finished fourth, once (though, of course, we can't know what could have been).

Don't know if he would have had the speed to win in '76, but....would have died trying. He would maybe have turned pro after that.
Where did you read that his BAC was 1.6?!?! I've always read that it was 0.16 which is far from drunk.Please let me know Im curious about this topic,
Gary Prestidge.. that is quite drunk enough to have an accident.

So who believes athletes like pre should be awarded their medals after knowing about the cheating of others... especially the women swimmers
I remember that excuse back then in TFN.Lmao

Colored story for americans... for Hollywood purposes... for Nike purposes:)
Do you remember those times? I do. And Pre wasn't doping like Lasse Viran the cheat.
Yeah Pike, who's next on your list to derogate? Jesus?:)
