Coe V Ovett

Here's a video for those who can remember as far back as, the late seventies and the eighties.
FOr those who can't remember Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett, were the greatest middle distance runners of their time, in seventeen years of racing they met only seven times. COe was the stronger in the 800 metres, yet missed out on Olympic Gold in that event, but took the Gold in the 1500 twice first against a more favoured Ovett and then against Steve Cram, they took turns at repeatedly lowering several world records from 800m to 2000 metres.
