![“Think about the change that occurred in the 1500m at Christchurch. The 1500m was usually a slow race and then a sprint [at the finish]. But in 1974 I changed that from the beginning to the end. And not many people have thought about that.” quote by Filbert Bayi](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8f0/filbert-bayi-82624_change_think-about-the-change-that-occurred-in_202330.jpg)
