Said Aouita - 800 meters in

The amazing Said Aouita shows his incredible range by beating a field of 800 meter specialists and running a personal best of 1:43.86. Aouita's range was truly phenomenal.

[@soulyrasheed]

the only athlete in history to rank No.1 at 800m('88), 1500m/mile ('84, '87), 3000/5000m ('84, '85, '86, '87, '89) AND 10000m ('86). Well done Said!

Said Aouita was an amazing athlete His running power was like dynamite He was achieving really wonderfully I was reading about him awfully He was indeed superbly performing Sports World, he was finely storming I deeply love that great sportsman He fulfilled each of his athletic plan.

[@yusakusan1295]

Dans toute l'histoire de l'athlétisme mondial, Aouita est le seul qui s'est attaqué à toutes les distances du demi fond avec un niveau de performance effarant. Par exemple, David Rudisha et Wilson Kipketer ne sont pas à même de devenir des spécialistes du 1500, ni même Gebre, Komen ou Bekele. Il fallait le voir pour le croire. Aouita, le 800 mètres, très haut niveau, le 1500, le 2000, le 3000, le 5000, records du monde à l'époque. C'était fou !

[@ericgeorge5483]

Whilst 1:43.86 is hardly attacking the world record, what we must consider is that Aouita was a 10k runner, and that makes this time simply astonishing. He was indeed a great athlete.

[@deano27671]

@@lincolnhotel4860 Aouita was publicly sacked as head coach and kicked out of Australia for trying to make the middle and distance runners (Australian nationals) in his care to take drugs, stating it was the only way to compete against the best in the world. So go figure! He definitely had the greatest range, but how he managed it is open to some suspicion.
