Abel Kiviat Admits He Is Unable to Regain Old Form
The veteran runner Abel Kiviat, once a star of the Irish American Athletic Club, says he cannot return to his peak speed. After eight years away, he races mainly for exercise and to challenge weaker competition, acknowledging he is good but not the runner he was. He recalls the Stockholm Olympics 1500m race with fondness, noting Jack Jackson’s daring finish and his own danger from Jones and Hedlund, yet believes he must accept a gradual, partial comeback rather than a true return to former glory.
