To Steve.

Well, this was a team effort...

and thanks to everybody here

who helped put this together.

There's a feeling I got today

unlike any other.

I guess, uh...

I guess it's what I thought

Munich would be.

I'm so glad we did this.

Way to go, World.

- Yeah.

- Way to go, Steve.

# They say every man

needs protection #

# They say that

every man must fall #

# Yet I swear I see

my reflection #

# Somewhere so high

above this wall #

# I see my life... #

Jesus Christ!

Come on! Hold on!

- Can't breathe.

- Hold on, kid. I'll get you.

Somebody help me!

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna get help.

He's dead, and that's final.

No amount of misery or suffering

by me is gonna bring him back.

I remember realizing that...

I had kind of settled for things

since we had broken up.

And he never did that.

I looked at him at that party

that night, and I thought...

he's gonna make a great

husband, father.

The best time in my life

was my time with him.

Well, let's be honest.

I mean, the only reason...

that we're sitting here talking about Pre

right now is because Pre was a winner.

People need winners.

Pre went to Munich to win.

In Montreal, by God,

he would have.

I woke up the morning

after the meet.

I was out of my bed like a bull.

I ran down to the corner

to buy me a paper.

I took enough money

to buy ten copies.

I had beaten Pentti Kahma.

I mean, this was gonna be

my sports page today.

It was my big moment.

Then I just saw it

all over the papers.

You know what my

first thought was?

"That son of a b*tch found

a way to beat me again. "

Pre ran every race as

though it were his last.

This is his last.

This is the bell lap for

Steve Prefontaine.

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!

Go, Pre! Go, Pre!

Go, Pre!
