From the official film of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Henry Marsh of the USA runs in the 3000m steeplechase. Copyright 1985 Bud Greenspan and IOC.
Henry Marsh showed the human side to the Olympics. He proved to everyone, that he is worthy of being called an Olympian. It is not always about the Olympic medals, but what makes a person a true sportsman, and Henry Marsh did that. God Bless you for that Henry Marsh.
Maybe this will help advance your steeplechasing career. Accomplish this, and you can pass Marsh and lay claim to being an all-time great: - Became the second male runner to make four US Olympic Teams - 13 straight years as one of the top ten 3,000 meter steeplechase runners in the world - 3 years as number one - Ten national titles - Four American records - American record of 8:09:17 which he held for 27 years Better get started!
Julius Korir was in peak shape and took the lead with about 1.5 laps to go. Henry Marsh had to use up quite much energy to rise to the second place from the second last place. He surely tried his best, but wasn't quite in peak shape. Maybe he mentally gave up after losing the gold and silver medals. Anyway, he had a long and great career, despite never winning a medal in the Olympics or the World Championships. By the way, Korir and Mahmoud didn't have long careers.
