SEB COE vs STEVE OVETT 'CLASH OF TITANS' 1980s BBC SPORT
 |
||
Sebastian Coe was a genius, Steve Ovett was a genius. Steve Cram joined them, for the greatest era of British middle distance running ever seen!! Although the likes of Daley Thompson and Carl Lewis have not shown up since either, these middle-distance runners were the kings of the track, and these guys' awesome rivalry (all the way to the end) made the events worth their weight in gold, silver and bronze...as a point of discussion - can sports champions be accoladed with the term 'genius'.."4. natural ability..inclination..special genius.....Synonyms: gift, talent, aptitude, faculty." (quoted from an online dictionary)

I think as I get older I begin to appreciate Ovett was the more versatile athlete and his grace on the track was more than equal to his great adversary. I have a lot of awe of Ovett and Cram as well who somehow seemed the third wheel of that running rivalry, despite Cram prodigious and remarkable achievements in races. Both Steves were out of this world competitors.

diagree sir steve was a race runner not a glory hunter.

also i think that steve cram was better than ovett - his pbs over the four distances are also better and he has the fastest of any of them over 1500m and 1 mile. Seb is probably better though when you look at his times over 1000 and 800 - even if we never saw his full potential

steve ovett was good but coe had to be better - when you look at coe's pb's - they are faster than ovett's over all four of the middle distances

wow I wish I was still 14 :( Ovett's son U11 2:17 is outstanding, which just proves genetics/background is important. I was really serious in 800/1500 metres, 2:14 was my U-13 PB which I still think is good, I'm gonna ignore that Ovett stat haha!

well im 14 but when i was about 11 i think he ran like a 2:17 which is frickin awesome for that age
wayzotoichi (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)
