The 1964 Olympic 5,000 Meter Final
History was made with the running of the 5000m Final at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The field was packed with gold medalists and world record holders including Ron Clarke of Australia, Kip Keino of Kenya and Michel Jazy of France. The US was represented by Bill Dellinger and Bob Schul.
On this video clip you will see the final three laps of the race, perhaps the most exciting finish in American distance running history.
