said aouita had the greatest range of all athletes in history. he run 800m under 1:44, was the first to run 1500m under 3:30 (in the best ever race when just failed to catch cram), 3000m under 7:30, 5000m under 13 min (simultaneously) and could be the first to run 10000m under 27 min. no haile, no hicham, no coe, no bekele, no lagat. aouita was the best ever middle distance runner of all time...
Haile has far better range unless you only want to compare 800-5000m then I would say Hicham or Daniel Komen. Haile has the 2nd fastest times ever in the indoor 1500,2000,3000, 5000. He has top 10 performances in every outdoor event from 3000 to marathon. I know none of these guys ever ran a fast 800, but I bet they could all go sub 1:45. Hicham sub 1:44. Aouita probably should have stayed away from the 800. His career may have lasted longer and would have had a 1500 and 5000m gold in 1988.

Mark nenow, former US record holder for 10,000m (27.20)
Hmm! saw Dave Bedford run 27:30 on cinders in 1971!! That was awesome+++!
I think he set a world record in 1973.

Mark Nenow.
Said ouita the best
Steve Cram narrowly beat Aouita to the 1st sub 3:30.00.
This guys main distance was between 1500m to 5000m. Thats saying something.
What was Aouitas last lap time. They came through the bell at 26:26.67.
