Kansas' Jim Ryun, the 1,500-meter world record holder, could only moan, "My God, how it hurts," after losing to Kipchoge Keino, who ran it in 3 min. 34.9 sec.-second fastest time ever recorded for the metric mile. The thin air may have been a boon to Oregon's Dick Fosbury, whose unorthodox, over-the-bar-backwards, high-jumping style propelled him to an Olympic record height of 7 ft. 41 in. It certainly did nothing to slow down...
