great runners. I myelf would perhaps change "knowledge of great form", to
"display
of great form". Jesse Owens displayed it; Emil Zatopek, the great distance
runner, no doubt had knowledge of it but the "style" he displayed was painful
to
watch. Said he, "This is not Olympic figure skating; I don't have to smile
and charm the judges, I just have to win the race." Awful style not
withstanding
he was exciting to watch. In truth, Owens was more pleasing to watch than
most other sprinters. What? "Aesthetic" pleasure from a foot-race?
