Leitão said before the race that it was going to be fast, but medals were not guaranteed. The strategy was to wear out everybody, because he knew the sprint was his major flaw. Canário helped a little too. Shame that he was never able to achieve this level again for a number of reasons.
I think up until Sydney 2000 they were running 5000m heats, semis, final and 10,000m heats and final! Then it became more corporate/commercial and so was condensed to fewer rounds and less athletes from less countries.
@ I have to transfer them, but I just wanted to let you know that I have the steeplechase (8-10) and the 1,500 meter final (8-11) one semi final (8-10) and part of 1st round - heat 2 & heat4 (8-9).
SAID WAS IN FAAAAAAAAANTASTIC shape here,,,,, running well over distance,,, exactly what seb coe used to do in world record attempts!!!!! IF SAID had to run 12:49 that night he would have achieved it!!!!
Quand on sait ce que sont les musulmans et tous les habitants du tiers monde , comment peut on encore laisser concourir des gens comme ça dans les épreuves internationales ?!?!
Thanks for uploading great to witness these races again from LA 84.
The craziest moments in women's sports should come with an "epic" soundtrack!

António Leitão was meters away from Portugal first gold medal. Thks for posting this run!!!
Happy to do it. I may have some others from the 1984 Olympics.
Maryy Liquori was a very astute commentator.
عويطة الأسطورة المغربية التي ألهمت الكثيرين..❤❤❤❤
Aouita ran the whole race wide, covering many more metres than great Leitao and he still won in 13.05 easily, he was capable 12:50 that day
Wow..what an awesome final kick👍🏃
You know it !
What a blistering final lap...
Ryffel was impressive here
Yeah. He did well. Better than he probably expected himself. 🙂
Aouita was a running God in the 1980's.
That was a very nice race.
Man talk about a finishing kick! 😂

I didn't realize they did 3 rounds. Crazy!

Doug Padilla - from BYU.
Do you have by any chance the men's 10,000m?
I have been looking, but I don't think that I have it. Is there anything else from the 1984 Olympics that you are looking for ?
@@so.cal.sportsetc.1293 The men's steeplechase or 1500 meters?
@@so.cal.sportsetc.1293 I do have the men's 10,000m but with poor quality
@ It may take a little while, but I will check my tapes.

Gutsy run from Tim Hutchings - he got a bronze in Euro Chaps 2 years later beating both silver and bonze medalists

I was in grade school during the '84 Olympics. Now, I'm over 50 years old. Al Michaels needs to retire.
Жулик и допингист был этот марокканец, как и впоследствии Геруж....
Давно надо было бы пересмотреть результаты этих "чемпионов"!
Any evidence or just sour grapes about the fact Americans have sucked at the Olympic 5000 m with some exceptions (Mexico '68) that reinforce the rule.

T'aimes pas les musulmans ?
Les athletes d' Afrique du Nord sont meilleur que les athletes Français,
