So true, they weren’t around forever and to this day have not been surpassed by other British middle distance athletes. RIP Harry Carpenter and Adrian Metcalfe.
Great interviews, and both Coe and Ovett were refreshingly honest. As Steve Ovett rightly said, Britain should've celebrated having two of the greatest middle-distance runners in history, rather than the ridiculous media obsession with the 'good guy/bad guy' rivalry. Both Seb and Steve made Britain mighty proud, and they're both remembered with great fondness for their world-beating achievements.
hmmmm....so racing in a middle distance race is a "contact sport"....interesting...you gotta love Steve Ovett....the ultimate competitor on the track...just ask those East German boys!
Which all interviews were like this. Both answered all questions candidly and honestly. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
