ovett was the best but even as an ovett fan theres a very strong argument that coe was his equal

If OVETT HADN'T suffered THAT horrendous injury at the end of 81 and seb didn't suffer TOXOPLASMOSIS 1982/1983 maaaaaaaan we would have seen these guys run 1:40'4 800m/3:26/1500m 3"44/mile@@@ STEVE CRAM WAS LUCKY THE TWO KINGS WERE KNOCKED OF THEIR PODIUMS BY DEVINE INTERVENTION AND NATURE TOOK ITS TOLL ON TWO FANTASTIC PERFORMERS WHO WERE TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 80 years old veteran I was a harrier In the days off come Coe was a professional Other runners were the three AAA I had to work and train before work and after work coe was sponsored that is cheating the AAA Men runner coe was a snob overt was a working man he was better than coe at races coe wouldn't mix with the field overt was down to earth So don't put coe on a pedestal I ran for 30 years with Ron hill.so up yours coe
