"Gutsy YOUNG PEOPLE" could be translated into American slang. The courage described by gutsy comes from the entrails of the body like the liver if it were indeed the source, and is very attached to the image of Steve Prefontaine , much used by NIKE, saying "I am going to work know That it's a pure guts race. In the end, if it is, I'm The Only One That can win it." To which Steve could be described as "gutsy , even if not so much talented .
The protagonists were young because hardly allowed themselves extra time in addition to class time in the first period of maturity. Let's go back a decade and we one of the great events of the Olympics in Rome. Herb ELLIOT had won in 22 years there was to win for an Australian (Commonwealth Games 1958 and Olympics 1960) and held the world record for the mile and 1500m. What else do? Finish school and live life.
The contemporary New Zealand's Peter Snell appeared directly to Rome to win the 800m and waited for another 4 years up to Tokyo to complete and extend the record between Filotto and gold (880y-mile-two Commonwealth Games and 1962 Olympic 800-1500m 1964) - YouTube videos are all related.
examples too exotic and remote? Too romantic tracks in clay? The rubbery surface only made his international debut at the Olympics in Mexico City 1968. RLQ has always regretted that for a few years there has been no cross-Herb Elliott, Peter Snell and Jim Ryun (another young man without fear): the world record of 1,500 he could get to 3'30 "winds years before Steve CRAM Knock down the barrier during the epic duel with Said Aouita (Nice FRA 16.07.1985).
I had promised myself to bring out the lesser known one in particular I was reported by my brother Matthew a few months ago. This is Ian STEWART (01/15/1949) that 21 years had already won 5'000m on both the European Championships in Athens in 1969 that the 1970 Commonwealth Games which were held in Edinburgh in his native Scotland. His flight have revived the history of the British middle distance running, after a gray period after the pomp of the 50's with Roger Bannister (the first to break the barrier of 4 'in miles) and Derek Ibbotson. Watch as two Scots are allowed to pull the great Kip KEIN (who had just won the 1'500m) with a flight that took them close to the world record (13'22 "85 vs. 13'16 "6).
Where are now two white Europeans of that nationality that are played on the gold 5'000m a major event in the world the rhythms 12'45 "? Impossible?
Olympics Monaco Ian found his way barred by contemporary Lasse Viren and mature 34 year old Tunisian Mohammed Gammoudi who took home his last beautiful medal, managing to get on the bottom rung of the podium after having slipped the stramazzante Steve Prefontaine.
