Sebastian Coe so often missed out due to racecraft, as he did in the Moscow Olympic 800m final. Possibly because he was so lightly built, he was always finding himself out of position before the last lap.

I never tire of seeing these races, thanks for posting! 🏃‍♂️🍾❤️

There were two contrasting stories to this race: Seb having finally won a major 800m title had to somehow put aside that victory and once more raise his game but in a different way than he had done before, and Steve having to find a way back from what he called the 800m final as his most depressing run ever.

LA MÁS PURA ESCUELA DEL MEDIO FONDO BRITÁNICO

I liked when Europeans represented European countries.

The times show that Cram was ultimately a better miler and 1500m runner than Coe but no doubt Coe has the title as Britain's best ever middle distance runner.

This was probably the only time they raced over 1500m with both close to their very best. The only difference between them here was that Cram ran a better race.
