Here’s a homemade video I found on YouTube of the 2007 Millrose Games’ Wanamaker Mile, in which Bernard Lagat outkicked Craig Mottram to win in 3:54.26 to Mottram’s 3:54.81. The athlete introductions are pretty amusing, as they are so “pro-wrestling.”
The dynamic in this year’s race will be a little different with Lagat going for his 6th win and Galen Rupp trying to (as he has said) “stick his nose in it.” Expect Mottram to challenge again by going to the front with a few laps to go, just like he did last year. He has said he is “fit and strong” and Lagat has admitted he is distracted by the tragedy unfolding in his native Kenya. The 2008 race should be a classic just like 2007 race below:
