2008 Olympic Trials 800m: Oregon sweeps!



Skip to about 3:15 see the last part of the race. Oregon runners Nick Symmonds and Andrew Wheating move up from the back of the pack to take #1 and #2. Christian Smith dives at the finish to be #3. I love Symmonds’ reaction when he looks to the scoreboard and realizes that Christian claimed the #3 Olympic team spot in 800m. Nick was surprised as everyone and sought out Christian to congratulate him. Great, great race.
