you want to know what is amazing about this race? It is not even the Golden Mile. This meet was just an afternoon meet a week after the actual "Bislett Games". And I guess that is my point of how cool and amazing athletics was back in the day. Amazing meets and races everywhere and all the time. So cool.
Steve Scott was a great runner. But he could never beat Coe, Ovett or Cram. The only reason he won the 1982 Dream Mile was because Coe & Ovett decided not to participate.
He did beat coe in 1983 - but Coe was suffering from glandular fever so it was a hollow victory - Coe won when it counted in 1984 LA and he also made it look easy against Scott in Zurich a few weeks later. Scott was a great Miler - but just not the best at the time.
He looked like he was wading through a sea of lactic acid
