If I recall Coe simply wasn't race fit and needed more competitions to sharpen up. Basically the selection committee applied the selection rules to the letter as he failed to qualify at the trails. Cram did get through but subsequently had problems.
FUKKIN IDIOTIC selectees!!!!! IF COE HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO RUN HE WOULD HAVE WON HIS THIRD TITLE!!!!!!! PETER RONO NEVER WON ANOTHER RACE AFTER THIS,,,, AND WHEN HE RACED COE AFTER WARDS COE,,,(of course) KICKED HIS FUKKIN ARSE !!!!!! PETER WHO? ¿
Average final, up for grabs, a fit cram and more importantly no Coe? we would have had the last true brit final, Coe should have been there and if fully fit would have won that race, idiotic selectors, three time 1500 metre Olympic champion there would now be now, no question of the greatest of All time????
I think you’re referring to 1990 , Elliot ran a super fast 800 1:42.97 early season , this off the back of winning the commonwealth games 1500 in late January, rather than race again he went back into heavy training and got injured, Elliot believed if he had ran a 1500 then he would have broke auoitas world record , looking back he had been sailing close to the wind pushing himself to the limit and should have just raced , he never saw that kind of form again.
1500m is the track event where Europeans have their best chance - maybe 800 too. 400m and below is dominated by west African heritage, 5000m & above is dominated by East African heritage. You never here this mentioned though 🤔
That was an omen. The North Africans were about to begin their take over of distance running. Now, every single world record from the 800 meters to the marathon is held by a North African.
Steve, you're still the BEST!!!!🇺🇸
Peter elliot a great and very underrated athlete
Some said he was one paced but that pace was faster than most others
@@mathematics5573 Ovett has no WR since 1985 and no WB since 1987.
You're underrated as an unoriginal idiot.
1988 Olympics where the Kenyans basically won everything above 400 meters and the Americans won everything from 400 down.
Nice interview. No excuses.
Great run by Peter - pity Steve Cram wasn't fit

Elliot's coach claimed he had done a 3: 27 for 1500m in training.. I think it was 1992! He got injured and never came back..
Crazy fast, glad he got silver at least.

Coe would have won this ....
I agree with you
What a loser for Steve Cram. Almost won bronze but no. If I were Cram, I would felt regretted come to Seoul to finish 4 th.
Another might have been if Cram and Elliot had been fit and Coe had been selected.

The 800 metres world record is held by a Kenya -_-
Apart from the 1500 metres and the mile no other distance record is held by a North African.

Your only dispute with what I said is over whether Kenya is in North Africa. I had Kenya in mind more than any other country.
In which map are Kenya and Ethiopia located in North Africa?
east africans not north africans,infact its kenya an ethiopioa to be precise
fact check again -
