The person who put this video up was his team mate and Henry Marsh was a legend for BYU so his followers want to see all his races because they hear about his race tactic of coming from behind. He held the BYU record a long time.
Je me souviens avoir couru "avec" Pascal Debacker, 8è de cette finale, lors d'un cross scolaire, championnat d'académie, je crois, début 1978 à la Grande Motte. Enfin, "avec" est un bien grand mot. J'ai vu ses semelles 150 mètres... Faut dire que j'étais là pour faire nombre. Ma distance, c'était le 200 mètres. Au moins, je peux dire que j'ai couru avec un finaliste olympique...
I was there. Dude jumped out of the stands and joined the race. Security had a hard time catching him. When they finally did he broke free and continued to run around and was finally caught. Crowd was cheering him on. Heard after he was a college student from Berkeley. Ultimate train dodge!
this race was on the same day as the decker/budd race (women 3000m) - in fact i think it immediately followed it - so first that and then the interloper from the crowd who ran onto the track and jumped over some of the fences at 1:00 here - so a memorable olympic day!
Because Doug Padilla was his team mate and Henry Marsh was a legend for BYU so his followers want to see all his races because they hear about his race tactic of coming from behind. He held the BYU record a long time.
Julius Korir shows a glimpse of the Kenyan dominance just around the corner and Henry Marsh - his own worst enemy - blows another chance with his usual barmy tactics.
@@runcaz7802 As in silly - going straight to the back and giving himself too much ground to make up on the last lap. It was was a feature of Marsh's career.
Korir's final kick was outstandingly Kenyan .I cherish watching men and women that have made Kenya proud 👏.
Brian Diemer an athlete to truly be respected. He seems to have been a humble guy who let his racing and deeds speak for themselves.

Nobody was going to catch Julius korir on that final 200m...love you kenya

Korir is probably the best steeplechase technician to come out of Kenya.

He did not go to Berkeley, he was a bay area cab driver
Well, in a way he did go to Cal, Berkley, to pick up & drop off his fares.
He was an asshole

1:38 he broke his ankles
This was the only race won by a Kenyan during the 84 games.
Where's the time? Such an American production...
Superbe médaille d'argent de Jo Mahmoud qui fut 8 fois champion de France du 3000.stpl et recordman d'Europe du 3000.stpl pendant plus de 10 années
he held the American Record for 27 years!
Why only Henry marsh
Yep, fails to win and medal, and again in 1988.
With Marsh barely missing a bronze medal, I wonder if Marsh constantly wishes he'd changed his "tactic". Run from the rear, you take a gamble.
He just needed a little better kick. He did fabulous as they all did.
@@John-wx3zn Truth!
He was sick and was admitted to an area hospital, due to a virus, immediately after the race was over.
The interloper, given the circumstances, had a reasonably good water jump. Just saying.
what was his name, anyone knows his motives?
So why is the name of the 4th place finisher in the title?

Gutsy race by Marsh. He left it all out there. Similar effort to Pre in 1972.
Could the commentators be more biased. Barely mention anyone else in the race until about a lap and a half to go, just Marsh, Marsh, Marsh
Yeah, it's hard to imagine why US broadcasters would focus on US athletes for their US audience.
I remember thinking the same thing in 83. They still do this, focus on one maybe two and don't bother with the others. Lame
@@matthewtolman5598yes, that's broadcasting to the ignorant

Barmy? What's that.

Bias commentary got that so wrong.
with such a weak field, Marsh should have easily won the gold here.
Marsh was very sick at these Olympic Games, with I am thinking with a very bad infection.
He was just beaten no excuses
really weak....Olympic Finals are always weak. ...
Yeah, why is this video titled "Marsh"?
