IN CRACKING FORM

you want to know what is amazing about this race? It is not even the Golden Mile. This meet was just an afternoon meet a week after the actual "Bislett Games". And I guess that is my point of how cool and amazing athletics was back in the day. Amazing meets and races everywhere and all the time. So cool.

What a gem of a race! Thanks for uploading. Due to the focus on Ovett, Coe and then Cram, this race slipped under my radar. Fantastic performance! As of 2020 this time is still 14th on the fastest of all time list.

He did beat coe in 1983 - but Coe was suffering from glandular fever so it was a hollow victory - Coe won when it counted in 1984 LA and he also made it look easy against Scott in Zurich a few weeks later. Scott was a great Miler - but just not the best at the time.

Scott ran so many races over the span of 15 years both indoors and out that he never really took a break. He still holds the record for most sub 4's in history at 136 and no one is even close!!

@@maureenforan5723 According to Wiki, John Walker had 135 sub-4's. That's "close" in my book.

COGHLAN also ran MANY MANY sub 4 minute MILES and at age of 40 the first to run sub 4 (indoors) which still stands today,,,

6:06" The record is DEFINITELY gonna go this year,",,,, Steve scott:3 YEARS LATER it was STILL COES property,,,,but not for long,,, in 1985=CRAM @@@

Pathetic mindset for such a talented runner - his interviews never connote strength or intelligence which shouldn’t leave you guessing why he could never win the big ones against the best / Steve Scott should have been the best but was awful when it came to crunch time
