Unbelievable pure elegance. The great man. Beautifil forever. And always the greatest.

@GOATAli - Yes! When he ran 1:41.7 he ran wide to pass the rabbit just after 400m, otherwise it would have been more like 1:41.5. AND it was the beginning of June. Even without Kipketer, Coe should have been able to lower it by the end of that 81 season had he not gone after the Mile record & had to run the Europa & World Cup 800s to show he could win important races. Had someone else come out & run low 1:41 in July 81, I think it highly likely Coe would have gone after it & lowered it further.

@newromantic888 gone

@mrlogic4u of course with your logic Flo Jo wasnt. So is Rudisha a doper as well.
-
No I am not fearful of Wilsons record being broken. .4 is still a huge margin in 800m terms. Half a second lets say.
-
@GOATAli they both would have run faster if they raced together. Ovett and Coe rarely raced. Kaki and Rudisha rarely race. Rudisha ran in Holland recently and Kaki is in France this weekend. A pity. They would surely push eachother to something special.

@MrFookwithya mmmmmm. Ok. Who am I. I write wonderful poetry but my grammar is terrible. Ironic dont you think. Or have I misused the word ironic. Again. lol. Cheers.
