Coe had to withdraw from the final suffering from a bad cold. Interestingly he was going to run but was talked out of it beforehand by Steve Ovett who told him "It's not worth it" after his own experiences of running while ill at the LA Olympics.

85 unbeatable including smashing Cruz over 800m but 88 with Elliot was his chance I couldn’t believe they couldn’t get past Rono in a hat 1500m Final I thought they should of gone earlier if Cram lead at the 400m mark he would win but his confidence 😢was never the same after he was beaten by Gonzalez in that European Cup race where it was slow & he ran the last lap in like 50:8 secs but Gonzalez ran it in 50:5 & pipped him

Cram's 1988 season had been going so well before the Rieti injury in late August. On the eve of the games he was upbeat about his chances but his early elimination of the 800 suggested he really should have considered dropping out of that event in preference to giving his all at the 1500. If he had done that then who knows what might have happened.

Гонсалес пробежал последний круг на Кубке Европы 87 49.9, но на Крэма это никак не повлияло, в Цюрихе 87 он пробежал 1500м за 331.43 и легко обыграл Гонсалеса 333.01. На ЧМ 87 Крэм пробежал 3 й круг за 53.84, но преследовавший его сомалиец Биле ухитрился при таком высоком темпе преодолеть последние 300м быстрее 39 секунд и Крэм просто сломался откатившись на 8 место. В 1988 он был очень хорош 1500м 330.95 и миля 348.85( взял реванш у Биле) , но травма в Риети сломала все его планы на олимпиаду
