Most of us may remember these dominant milers
from New-Zealand, like the 1976 1500M Gold John
WALKER, or Rod DIXON, or Dick QUAX who were
World-class champions through the mid-seventies.
How can we explain New-Zealandians have
completely disappeared from World podiums since
this golden era?
Was is about a guru-coach?
Was it about a secrete magic potion?
Or was it just about a very talented spontaneous
generation?
Of course, we could ask the same question about
British domination through the eighties (COE,
OVETT, MOORCROFT, CRAM...) or champions from
Finland in the early seventies...
