Freestyle - Dr. Bill Thierfelder, you host. We have been asked many questions on topics we have already covered. We thought it would be a good time to go back to some of our best segments and hear them again. So, this week we are going talk with Andy Panko, look at Chariots of Fire, knocked me dead, when you make your move - how do you make it?, jumping higher, precision with your eyes closed, Living like Landy and much more.

Listen Up - Interview with Andy Panko.

What's Hot - Chariots of Fire and through Amazon.  Soundtrack by Vangelis

Praying Twice - 'Knocked Me Dead' by Gene Reynolds

It's Your Call - How do you know when to make a move? Send you questions or comments to feedback@reclaimthegame.com

Skills &amp;amp; Drills - How do you jump higher?

Iron Will - Mental aspects of sport - taking your shots with your eyes closed.

Soul Food - Pursuing victory with honor website. Australian sportsmanship.

Here's the story:

John Landy.

With two laps to go in the final of the 1,500-meter run at a 1956 Olympics qualifying meet in Melbourne, Australia, the runners were setting a world-record pace.

Then Ron Clarke accidentally clipped the heels of another runner and sprawled on the Landy and Clarktrack. World record-holder John Landy was just behind Clarke and had to leap to avoid him. As he did, he spiked Clarke on the shoulder.

The crowd looked on stunned as Landy sacrificed his chances for making the Olympics and setting a new record by stopping and rushing back to the fallen runner to apologize. Clarke said he was okay, got back up, and resumed the race with Landy following him.

By the final lap, Landy amazingly had made up most of the ground. On the final turn, he took the lead. He won in 4:02, four seconds off his world record of 3:58.

Witnesses estimated his sportsmanship cost him at least seven seconds, meaning if he hadn’t stopped, he would have shattered the mark.
