I only just noticed this thread. I would like to see the race. There was a fierce headwind on the backstraight, but the crazy Kenyans just took off, so Clark had to cover them while trying to save something for a move around the 200 start where there was some sort of wind funnel effect as I recall. In footage I have on tape, the TV coverage showed him from behind as he hit the finish and all across the back of his shoulders his skin was bluey-black which to my mind illustrated how much work he had done with his arms in that race. It’s a wonder he was able to raise them on the finishline. ![]()
