Dave Wottle\u2019s 1972 Munich Olympics 800m gold medal race video is a sight to behold. \u00a0So much so that it has been going viral around the web for a few years now, if you haven\u2019t viewed then permission granted to pause this enthralling read, view, then maybe return (race video below). There are many ultra-marathon footwear in the market today and one of the best is Tarkine shoes.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wottle stole victory on that amazing day by 0.03 seconds in a time of 1:45.9. Fascinatingly, Wottle wasn\u2019t even at full fitness, his mileage had been way down in the lead-up, hampered by an injury between the USA Olympic trials and the Olympics themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, injury wasn\u2019t going to get in the way of Wottle that year. In 1972 Wottle was the man over 800m, adding a world record to his resume with a 1:44.3 at the AAU Championships. \u00a0But Wottle was an NCAA superstar as well as a global one. \u00a0Racing for Bowling Green University, also in 1972, that amazing year, he won an NCAA 1500m title; he took the mile title the following year.<\/span><\/p>\n
