A banked indoor 120yd track? Probably a 200m/220yd track. 120yd banked would be some very tight curves.
I think the San Diego Sports Arena/ Jack-in-the-Box Invitational track was an 11 laps (160yd) to-the-mile banked track. It did have some very tight curves.

Will it go down this year at pre?
Liquori ran his 2m AR(8:17) in 1975. He defeated John Walker(8:20) who broke the mile WR that year and was undefeated in all his races except this 2 miler in Stockholm. Garderud (8:21)the Montreal steeplechase winner (and set WR) was third, Dixon (8:26) was 4th.Dixon finished 4 th in 76 , Montreal 5000.
Safe to say if he had been healthy Liquori would have won Olympic 5,000 in Montreal.
Bring in on Viren sycophants.
Bump
Add Grant Fisher to the top of the list.
Big jump in time.
8:03.62
Third fastest time in the world.

I know I’m replying to a 5 year old comment, but no, that’s not safe to say. Dixon defeated Liquori at 5k in Gothenburg later that summer of ‘75. Logic eviscerated.

Well, 7th fastest since this thread isn’t indoor-specific.
