The magic of the net
Jim Ryun was the first high school runner to break 4 minutes in the mile. After a turbulent running career, he became a US congressman from kansas, and on a junket to Argentina in 2002 he signed the pair of spikes that Heidi has been running in.
Would you like to go back to 1965 and watch him run a sub 4 mile? would it be even cooler if he out kicks Peter Snell to do it? (Snell, of course was the olympic champion in both the 800 and the 1500 at the 1964 olympics in Rome. A double that has yet to be repeated).
Well thanks to the magic of the internet you can see the whole race without commercials at this link : http://www.flocasts.com/flotrack/races.php?t=event&id=mile&vid=47 .
Enjoy!
