10,000-meter race in Tokyo. As you enjoy one of the most famous running videos, here are six things you probably didn’t know about Mills and the race.He was raised in poverty on the Pine Ridge Oglala Lakota Reservation in South Dakoka, surrounded by alcoholism and depression. His parents separated, his mother remarried his uncle, but died when Mills was 9. His father died four years later.
And when Mills began his wondrous outrageous knees-pumping 80-meter gallop to the tape, he was in an outside lane where the surface was less sodden and cut up. Luck or judgment? Clarke gave credit to Mills’s astute choice of “making his bid on the outside lane, which was firmer.”4. How the race was run: Any other deciding factors?
The last laps were a shambles of lapped runners. Many did not move out as the leaders passed, perhaps because they were all elite runners, unaccustomed to getting lapped. InClarke wrote, “This race was becoming like a dash for a train in a peak-hour crowd.” He describes how with 300 meters to go he found himself trapped in a bottleneck between Mills, “thumping along at my shoulder,” and a slow lapped runner dead ahead.
