Yes, DiNapoli's best run. Unfortunate for him that he couldn't repeat this form, or these tactics, in actual championships. The 1990 European 1500 was his to lose, and he did...to Herold. Very foolish allowing Herold in that era to dictate a slow pace but DiNapoli often did so. Why? Maybe the Italian athletes know, did he lack the necessary confidence?
Never saw this race before,...they never televised the Rieti meeting in the UK, unless you has satellite, which was rare in those days! Great run by Di Napoli, beating Morceli and Cram. It's a shame the whole race isn't shown.
