He was preparing for the IAAF World Cup which was held three weeks later in Barcelona. At the World Cup, Coe ran 3:35.79 to finish second behind Abdi Bile (3:35.56). Coe officially retired from the sport in February, 1990.

That was so frustrating,for Coe he was in great shape in 1989,,and got blocked just as he was to kick again like the world cup against bile that season,and beat the Olympic champion from last season,,,1988 when the British selectors, didn't pick him for the Olympics,to defend his title, when he was coming into shape

Состав мощнейший( бежали чемпионы ОИ 1980-88) , но погодные условия были плохие( сильный ветер) и это сказалось на результатах
