Prefontaine

Pre is portrayed as a great runner who is becoming very cocky and self absorbed. He thinks he's better than everyone else because he knows he's  good. He doesn't seem to be too likeable because he takes everything as a race and can't stand to lose because of his cocky personality. Pre does many arrogant things to his teammates including making practice a race and saying he's too good for them. Pre teaches a 9 year old boy that he can't beat him no matter how good he gets. Pre's high school goal was to go win the gold in the Olympics. The living conditions at the Olympics are tough and seem to be in a poor area. A hostage situation happens when they are at the Olympics, causing the Olympics to be postponed for a couple days.
