some m...n wrote about unselfish team work.
Maybe Ereng could have won following Cruz, most likely not, kenyans didn't want risk anything. Kiprotich was ordered to sacrifice himself, made it perfectly, destroyed the brazilians.
talk about fair play :DDD

@welshnick300365 I don't think he was a choker, he just wasn't good enough. He managed to utilise all or at least most of his potential, but he was never going to set the world alight like Ovett, Coe or Cram did. He was dependable, very good, but not great!

No gold for Aoutia!!! Denied!!!
800 is for the tall man. Go back to 5k Aouita.

Brilliant run for Ereng. Look his position after first 300 m.
Where are all the World-Record-Breaking Britons nowadays ?
Haven't seen them for years...

Elliot was always a choker on the big occasion.

I don't think Cram would have medalled in the 800m due to the intensity of the rounds, and had he got close or won perhaps a bronze in the 800, I think it would have weakened his chance in the 1500. I still think had he pulled out of the 800 and focussed on the 15, he'd have found enough strength to edge past Elliott, Herold & Rono in the straight.

Had Cram not got injured in Rieti, he should have won the 1500 comfortably against those that were there. However, this is hypothetical. Had Coe, Aouita & Bile all arrived in Seoul injury and illness free also then it would have been much more difficult to even medal.

Especially while at the same time knowing Coe was at home having beaten Ereng (the 800 Champ in Seoul) twice that season and having run faster than he did in 86 when he was world ranked 1 and beat Cram at the Europeans. If the games had been 5 weeks earlier Cram may well have won the 1500m, but then again, the rest of the world's top middle distance guys wouldn't have been at a peak 5 weeks before the Olympics! Why would they want to be? It's all about timing.

@Daz555Daz I respect your opinion & you may be right about running into shape. My take on it is that Cram got injured 4 weeks before the Olympics & missed a couple of weeks training. He had run enough races during the season & the issue was really to catch up with 2 weeks missed training. He desperately wanted to win the 1500 & that should have been his focus. To use the 800 for sharpening knowing that he didn't have a chance of winning was pretty selfish.
