...other up in the heats," says Rick Wohlhuter, the best U.S. middle-distance man, "it will take a world record to win." The heats will be hot, but Wohlhuter may still be right, because this race has one of the strongest fields in the Olympics. Leading it are Mike Boit, winner of 15 out of 17 major races last year; Yugoslavia's Luciano Susanj, who beat Wohlhuter four times in '75 and John Walker, who is convinced his chances for two golds are good. Another entry was, alas, Filbert Bayi. And not last in the group, or least...
...were superior to those recorded in a top invitational meet in California. Clayton's superb 1000 is, as far as I know, the fastest in the world so far this year. His 2:08.0 was a tenth of a second faster than the winning time by Kenyan Olympian Mike Boit at the L.A. Times meet.

Even so, it may not be a two-man race. Kenya has another prospect in Mike Boit, who started running the distance this year and is already coming close to matching Keino's time. Italy, which has surprisingly produced a small army of capable trackmen, has a 1,500-meter hope in Francesco Arese, a black-mustachioed teacher who runs 25 to 30 kilometers a day through...
