DOG ASIDE:
This 2nd semifinal heat of the men’s 1500 m run at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics….featured 3 runners who could break the world record in the race…..GBR Steve Cram, GBR Steve Ovett and USA Jim Spivey…..as the race is brought to the viewer by ABC’s Al Micheals and Marty Liquori…..and since Liquori was a miler himself….he provides wonderful color commentary on any race that he covers.
