Speaking about his most famous race, he says: “Going
into the stadium for the final, I was quite relaxed but
when I saw my rivals, tension mounted. And with each
minute it increased. I drew lane five with the South
African Malcolm Spence to my left and the German
Manfred Kinder on my right. I was going strong till
about 250 meters. But then I slowed down a bit. I
thought the pace was very fast and I would fizzle out
in the end if I continued at that speed. At that point I
even looked back or maybe it was just a side-glance.
But that fraction of a second decided my fate. One by
one they all caught up with me…” – Name him
