Seb Coe 1981 Europa Cup 800m semi, 1:47.57
This race was for GB when running in the old format of the European Cup, which was held every 2 years in those days, and considered one of the highlights of the season. The final was usually held at the end of August, and those nations participating had to first qualify in the semi final meets.
This race occurred during the semi final of 1981 competition, and was Coe's first race since breaking the 800m WR in Firenze on 10.6.81. Immediately after that race he went down with a cold and missed a few planned races. He returned here, in Helsinki on July 5th, just 2 days before his planned attack on the 1500m WR in Stockholm, where he was looking to break 3:30.

Просмотров 68 тыс.Год назад
This race took place on the streets of London at the end of the 1985 season. Steve Cram was at the peak of his powers, having broken 3 world records that summer, while Steve Ovett, probably past his peak over that distance, had been having a quiet year, adjusting to the problems he had faced at the LA OLympics of 1984.

Steve Ovett, 2000m Oslo 1982
Просмотров 14 тыс.5 лет назад
In an early season outing for Steve Ovett on 7th July 1982, just 7 months after a near career ending injury, he runs and wins a 2000m in Oslo in 4:57.71. I think it was the UK record at the time, and was about a second faster than Coe's time over the same distance a few weeks earlier in Bordeaux. Strangely enough they both beat Wessinghage in their respective races, and he was to later in the y...

Byers ran in 3:39.01, with Ovett 2nd in 3:39.53. At the time, Ovett and others claimed that the splits of Byers were being shouted out to them instead of t...

What a wonderful stadium!
The greatest athlete in the world? In 1985? Steve Cram? 😲😲😲😲
Coe was a smarmy, selfish (man?) who became a bastard tory MP. Coe was and is, a charmless, rude individual. A greedy bastard. I see his face and all I read is his dead eyes and charmless expression. Sincerity isn't a quality he possesses. Not born with it, doesn't recognise it, knows no better. SHAME ON HIM Steve Ovett? A gentleman who has the respect of millions. Loved by the British people. A HERO.
He had to step out of his line to avoid hitting the idiot photographer on the back straight
Great era, that summer of 81 was incredible, they were breaking world records for fun. That Steve Ovett kick was a thing to watch!
Cram thought he had him but the kick was still there! The greatest.
I remember watching the 1980 Olympics, I always felt coe lost the 800 meters due to poor tactics, and redeemed himself in the 1500 , yes I wanted coe to win but disappointed that ovett didn't get silver in the 1500 meters, without doubt the greatest pair of middle distance runners Britain has ever had, and inspiring just to watch this.
A golden age of middle distance running. Steve Cram and John Walker, too ...
I assume the guy at the front was part of the Eastern Europe doping program.
he was injured for most of the summer of 82, made a return mid August, win 3 800 races in a row, broke the 4x800m WR (was forced to run by BAAB, when he wanted to rest before Europeans) the week before the European Champs, where, he ran a brilliant tactical race but lost to Hans Peter Ferner. He was then diagnosed with glandular fever and scratched from the 1500m. The following year, he had 4 defeats in quick succession and was finally (after undergoing lots of tests in hospital) diagnosed with toxoplasmosis. He stopped running (under doctor’s orders) at beginning of August 83, and not allowed to run until Jan 84. So, he missed 2 or 3 months winter training. The fact he was able to come back and return to his best (well, over 1500m at least) at the LA Olympics in 84, was one of the greatest comebacks in sport.
That amazing double kick of Coe's forged doing the long miles in the hills of Sheffield. He lost it after getting that virus in 1982. With all the modern techniques I reckon he could knock a couple of seconds off the 800m WR. Just like he did lowering Juantorena's WR.
Yes, I agree with you re how amazing his kick was. I don’t think he lost it after 82, it just wasn’t quite so obvious or used to such effect as his zenith in 79-81. He still had it in the LA 1500 in 84 and watch the Zurich race from that year! Also had it in 86 Europeans. He was definitely prone to more viral infections after that illness in 83. With the right pacing and some competition Coe was capable of 1:41.2 and 3:28.0 in 81. If that form were transported to todays’s tracks and in today’s super shoes, then he’d have broken. 1:40 and be running 3:25.
@@deano27671 Did he pick up the virus in 83, was he injured in 82. I remember he wasn't the winning machine he was between 79-81, when he made it look so easy.
Whos'e here in 2024 on an olympic binnge and ending up cutting to the chase?
Steve would be a great runner today cos he always had tae bit o arsehole in his work. He was a crafty runner with a murderous kick..even at his peak times he'd beat todays runners if he had the same tracks,shoes and diet.
I have been watching this documentary on and off since it was first broadcast in 1986 and I have never got bored with it once. It is arguably the greatest sporting story ever told. I still relive the moment in the hope that Steve Ovett is going to win the 1500m gold - that is how brilliant this documentary is.

Ovett wearing that red soviet vest breaking world records ...iconic .Coe was unbelievably smooth in his running .
Imperial phase Coe
Coe at the peak of his powers in 1981
I was always a Coe fan.. Ovett was definitely portrayed as the "bad guy" by the press.. Steve Cram was also a great runner...
Cram looked like he had made his move perfectly. He must have thought, "I've got him!" when he slid around Ovett. How Steve managed that late kick at his age shows just how great a runner he was.
I used to love watching Steve Ovett when I was a kid
Why are they running?
1985 was one of the last years The World was a wholesome place.
Apart from the Iran-Iraq War....apart from the USSR's war with Afghanistan....the Liberian war...Souty African apartheid...all of eaatern europe tyranised by communism.....than again i issnae gonnae argue with you...back than shit hole countries kept their problems confined to their shit hole and didnt bother us with mass illegal economic migration and there was no woke dark ages or globalisation abd social media trolls were mute.
Last years of good music too
i have no doubt that this is by far the fastest ever finish in an 800m race, i believe that the last 100m was covered in 11, 1 seconds the fastest EVER , coe that year in 1981 also coverded the last 100m in 11. 3 and 11. 4 as far as i know none of these times have ever been bettered
Guy was a legend. I actually saw him in Central London 2 weeks ago purely by chance.
@@aperson2730 i met coe twice once at crystal palace in 1984 and another time in 1988 where he was watching a minor athletics match both times i chatted to him and got his autograph
I remember watching this race from the back stretch and Coe on that last lap was unbelievable
Ovett expatriated to Australia.
A middle-distance runner nonpareil: Seb Coe.
Agree! The goat of the classic middle distances; 800 - 1 mile
Frank Bough lol!
Ovett was our greatest ever middle distance runner. Never ever got the credit he deserved. Easy win for the goat.
The worse pressure put on poor Steve ovett ever , a race to forget . but you have to run it.
The names in this race all world class milers... amazing days!
What stunning speed! Seb, an all-time great!
Wonder what Coe could have run for 200m if he trained for it specifically. He ran 24+ often in the finish of the 800m so what could he do if he was fresh?
Hi, his fastest 200m in training was 21.7. He did this in 81 and again in 86. It was run at the end of a series of 200m reps, so not totally fresh.
@@deano27671 Right so he was sprinter fast. If he managed to stay with any opponent he could out kick anyone.
Find an orthodontist
Awesome talent. He beat a lot of world class runners for a long period of time.
Were there also world class track meets at Sestriere in the Italian Alps during the mid to late 80s & early 90s??
Poetry in motion. At his best Seb was as good a middle distance runner as has ever graced a track.
Two great English runners running in London as it used to be. Serves more now as a historical document of what's been lost. Or given away I should say.
Crab really spiced it up with that move.
Fabulous performance from Steve Ovett.
6:42 BAD ASS
Miss those times
Bayer's drugs obviously didn't work on two successive days.
Coe at his best. Unbeatable.
Coe the best ever! What an amazing privilege to grow up during the Coe/ Ovett era. Great Britain!
"Quite astonishing. In all my years of watching middle-distance running I've never seen an athlete with the power to accelerate from the front in that way. He just destroys the rest!" The Commentator obviously had never seen Peter Snell race. ruclips.net/video/2hrBBoV0ruo/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/RK0woLEtQQA/видео.html for a couple of examples.
I’m sure David Coleman would have seen those Snell races tbh. Obviously it was some time before Coe’s race here and people tend to have short memories. Snell was awesome and also had an amazing kick. Definitely in the argument for the greatest middle distance runner of all time.
Incredible acceleration down the home straight. Modern 800m races are generally run consistently more quickly than in the 80s, but don't quite have the thrill of those 800s where Coe, Cram and Ovett could just toy with a field at their bests.
Ovett never the same after his collision with the Church Railing he had back problems & the explosive kick 1977 World Cup 800m Moscow 2nd lap inside 51 secs was never evident again still World Class but not what he was
I got this man's autograph at Meadowbank in June 1978 and I still have the programme.
And in less than six months, David Rudisha will be born (December 17)...
