Sorry, your name is??? Ah, never heard of you. Perhaps you should achieve something before criticising these legends.

What was the date?

@@eoinbrennan3949 mid/late October 1988. I’ve got the exact date in my diary, I just can’t be arsed to dig it out.

October something

@@donny2327 your correct

Hi, yes think the original clips I uploaded was ony 10 minuets long! In the early KZbin days "that's all that was permitted" due to the early technology! Peter Flatman and Colin Martin filmed the events. I rescued them from the old VHS Video Tapes. I re-loaded the full version Last year, when better ripping softwear was avail,able. Some of the videos were cut short though, due to camera battery life. not many VHS tapes survived as Tech moved on! which is a shame Colin passed away at a young age.

thank you so much, i really appreciate it :)

Coe took the lead at the start. Impossible to pass on a short square course like this.

Hi, I'm sure these events you mentioned may well have been filmed by Colin Martin! But sadly Colin passed away at a young age mid to late 1990's He lived with his mother! No one knows what became of all his video's and equipment? (assuming he'd backed them up) Most of the VHS tapes I have. are what had been handed to me over the 40years+ All of which I've made some attempt to reproduce and upload. As the years pass by, the 100's Colin and Peter Flatman produced will have been lost. I think the last University 10km was won by Dave Ottaway They all make interesting viewing, and the standards are fantastic, compared by today's. If any others turn up you'll find them here! most have been uploaded before. But in the early days of KZbin they could only be uploaded in 10min Clips. Take Care and keep safe. Dave G

45.7 on a stumble actually

Yeah But Coe won the 800

@@matthewlockey5965 my point was their last race the 1500m Cram won & Coe lost it 😢

check their head to head meetings coe wen most races u melt

​@@David-be7jn They only ever raced 7 times - Coe won 4-3 but two of the races were in 1980-81 when Coe was at his peak and Cram was a 19-20 year old still on the way up.

they did the chime was still dying as they crossed the line.

Errr, charity

Maybe he done it for fun.

Corners made it a competition.

Cram won Olympic gold in the 800. He's no slouch!

Cram didn't win Olympic gold in anything, let alone the 800. Great athlete, mind you.@@markwilson1026

Cheers

October 1988, if memory serves. It was not long after Games in South Korea the month before, where Cram competed over the 8&15, with Coe not being selected for either (crazy decision). Cram wore his famous Jarrow club colors here; Coe was more casual; apart from his signature -model Diadora trainers.

@@donny2327 I remember this I read a few years ago that they looked at the footage and both failed to do it,coe just missed it. By inches.

anfeild8 yes I think you can see that even on this footage; Coe seemed a split second behind. Still ....

It’s on the completion of the chime, not the last stride of the bell. So even if the cottage shows the bell being struck, you have to listen for when the chime ends to see if they cross the line first.

@@redd605 They would have done it no problem (especially Coe) if the clock wasn't chiming faster than it used to. Coe can easily run 341 meters in less than 46 seconds, even if it is on cobbles in his trainers. He can run just under 46 seconds for 400 meters on the track FFS, so this feat would have been accomplished comfortably if not for the slight malfunction with the clock.
