- I originally uploaded this video some years ago but it got taken down by the Tube Copyright Police . Considering the offending races were WR's it seemed sad and also daft,as those races are still available to watch elsewhere . Hey ho...after sitting on my hard drive for an aeon I decided to have another look at it...I've removed the"offending"clips and and shoved a couple of extras on the end so as to keep the title true! As for Seb Coe,well ,just watch the video !
The greatest British athlete ever and possibly the greatest middle distance runner of all time.
greatest middle distance runner of all time for sure. held all 4 middle distance WRs at once - nobody else has ever done that.
I just want the mile record
Thank you for a great compilation of my fav middle distance runner of all time. I grew up reading Running Free, Peter and Seb Coe's book Running for Fitness and the documentary Born to Run
The middle distance middle class (😄) phenomenon that was Seb Coe. He carved a unique place in history thanks to the records he held. Also retaining an Olympic title is truly special. There will never be another Seb Coe in middle distance running.
The 332.19 was brilliant walker at his best he even came back at coe round the bend ,at Zurich with the brilliant commentary by ron Pickering. World record pace with walker, scott and delise . fantastic race
I reckon he could’ve obliterated the 1500m WR in Zurich in 1984 had the pace making been right. My favourites are the LA 1500 & Stuttgart 800. I also enjoyed (not shown here) the Zurich 1982 comeback 800 when David Coleman says “what’s he got after just days of training?” Seb “hold my beer...” Great video. Thanks 🏃♂️👍👏
I still love to watch the 1980 Moscow 800/1500 races
Zurich 84 1500 coe had plenty left in tank that night this coming off the 84 la olympics his confidence was high
i have no doubt that seb coe is the greatest middle distance runner ever , he is the only runner to ever hold all middle distance world records, if it was only for 45 minutes, coe broke so many world records, he was also such an exciting runner to watch, whould he lead from gun to tape or would he tuck in and sprint the last 100m in an astoising 11.3 seconds
Can you provide me with the race that Coe sprinted the last 100m in 11.3 seconds! I always thought that his best kick in the final 100m was 12.2sec.
@@richardmilliken5651 it was from the european cup in 1981 he ran the last 100m in 11.3 in the semi final then a sluggish 11.9 in the final its the fastest ever last 100m in an international 800m race, its on you tube so watch and enjoy its pretty impressive stuff
@@patsquires3654 11.3?? Semi finals?? The European cup was a one off race there was no heat or semi final.
So glad this is back
Such an elegant runner… Just love him kicking in that extra gear so reliably in the final 100m….
World class pace is stratospheric.
Pace OFF world-class pace is super-human.
But pace off pace off already-searing pace is from another dimension, I mean: Bayi, Scott, Walker, Boit etc....
Had there been anyone on Earth capable, at the time, of going with him in Florence we'd've seen 1.40.xx and I'm with Deano on the 2.11.xx 1k.
His 1978 Euro 800m loss saw him go thru 600m in 75s and by 1981 it was also 75.00, which itself shows
incredible improvement from hard training: speed endurance AND muscle endurance.
And let's not forget that his 3.29.77 is worth 3.45.00 for the full mile.
Welcome back. 😎👍
First time I've seen that last one ,he was in great form in 1983 , but missed the world championship in all his career. 83 and ,87 with it being every 4 years back then
Бесподобно. Вот что значит правильно тренироваться и не мучать себя обьемами
I'd rate the European 800m gold his finest performance - yes, betterr than his 1500m Olympic golds and those world records. Ironic that it was the only major title of his preferred distance.
Wait!!!!!! THEN YOU MEAN TO TELL US YOU DIDN'T SHOW COES GREATEST WORLF RECORD THE KILOMETRE 1980/1981 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNMBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1981 1:44'56 at 800 27'6 last 200m blood literally seeping from his shoes burst blister and that Stockholm run from 1981 1500 !!!!!!!!!!! No waaaaaaay !!!!!;;;;
@@simonsedwards1513 They are 2 of his greatest races, undoubtedly. The 1000m WR was only 3 nights after the solo 3:31 1500 in Stockholm! Without that draining 1500 in his legs (52.4 @ 400, 1:49.1 @800!) Coe would have run 2:11.5 that night in Oslo, which would still make him the WR holder. This doesn't have the 1:41 800 either, but I think there has been issues with copyright for that race.
Sadly,no.Blame RUclips....
@@deano27671 coe best year was 1981 at his peak he shud of set faster times but the pace makers were average in those days he cud of ran a sec faster over 800 and 3-45 over mile and easy 3-28 over 1500
@@davidshannon2860 agreed. With decent pacing in those days I think 1:41.0, 2:11.5, 3:28.0 and 3:44 high were possible for him in 81. With todays faster tracks and technologically advanced spikes, even faster!
💪❤
Where was the 1000m and 1981 800m WR ???
@@jamesfitz2000They were in the original video but got taken down by RUclips for copyright infringement. Note "(Re-Edit)". So I had to have another go without them. Bloody silly,but there y'go...
@@AthletixStuffChannel
Ah that makes sense. Happens so often these days doesn’t it. Ridiculous!
turned it off because of the terrible music
Great 1500m runner. Shame he flopped at 2 Olympics over 800m
He definitely flopped in Moscow, but Cruz was #1 in the world in 1984 and the heavy favorite for gold in Los Angeles.
It's a shame that he wasn't entered in the 1988 Olympic Games in the 1500m for Great Britain because he would've won his third Olympic Gold Medal in the 1500m!!
@@richardmilliken5651 I think so
@@richardmilliken5651 yep, that still rankles all these years later. There wasn't much competition and he was running better times than McKean and Elliot. Also, he was given a wild card to enter and our federation wouldn't allow it. An example of pigheadedness depriving the country of a gold medal.
As soon as Coe hits that straight, it's like he's uncoupling himself from his carriages.
