• ... that Finland's Lasse Virén won the gold medal and set a world record in the 10,000 metres at the 1972 Summer Olympics, despite falling onto the track about halfway through the race?

• The image isn't used in the article (remedied easily enough, of course). The prose portion is just under 1700 characters, so (barely) OK. Policy OK. Hook OK (193 characters, so again barely - like to live close to the edge, eh?). --GRuban (talk) 12:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Added to the infobox. –MuZemike 03:25, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Er, um, hrr. I guess that's OK, but can we move it out of the infobox, and caption it appropriately? See, to me, at least, placement in the infobox and without caption implies that this is a photo of the event. Which it isn't, it's a photo of Viren 4 years later at a different event, which the caption really should clarify. Everything else . --GRuban (talk) 13:49, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I removed the picture instead, as there is no logical place to place it in the article that won't get in the way of something layout-wise; you can blame all the side-tables on that. –MuZemike 13:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
