Talk:Dave Wottle

Tendonitis prior to Olympic Games
Some unsourced claims appear in the Web that Dave Wottle had tendonitis which prevented him from preparing to the Games properly, and that might be a reason for his incredibly slow start in the 800 m race. A 1972 NYT article seems to confirm the health condition, but it doesn't explain or confirm a correlation to the race. I suppose we can't add info based on such a weak source...? --CiaPan (talk) 20:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

 * As I recall from memory, without looking at sources, Wottle ran a similar come from behind race in the Olympic preliminaries to qualify for the final. I'd also consider the New York Times link as a strong source.Skilgis1900 (talk) 23:14, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
