I heard quite the opposite, I heard that he was as big as a full grown adult yetti.

you can stop reading. There will not be a better post than this.
Coe had 0.3% body fat. i just watched a documentary on him three days ago. that guy was amazing... i had no idea he set two world records in three days by destroying the field in each race.
0.3% body fat.
lolol
I met Seb Coe twice (1991 and 1994) through the generosity of Joe Newton....I'm 6ft 1 in and he was about 5 ft. 10 in...I did think he was shorter than this judging by photos so it was surprising to see he was that tall
If that guy saw the same documentary I did, I think Peter Coe meant to say 3%. He said something like "There's naught point 3 body fat on Seb," which I think would mean 30% (clearly wrong). 3% is most likely correct. 0.3% = DEAD, and 30% = Drew Barrymore (not much better).
yeah, that makes sence.
i did belive the guy though, in that i wouldnt be surpriced IF a documentry were to say something of that sort.
Yer all wrong lads! Seb Coe is as tall as two men and the weight of a wee-tiny boy! The optics on that damn teli've got ya seein' all funny-like.
5'8" / 119 lbs when at his peak.
He was lighter earlier in his career. As his career progressed, with the breast implants and Ensure addiction, he put weight on.
I wonder if he could bench 280lbs like Geb?
What are you talkin''bout lad? Are ye workin on your last pint? Or, is yer pint workin' on you?
Seb was not really into bench press. However he was pretty strong in the deadlift. By the way who could deadlift more weight.....Donald Trump or Pat Sajak.
I don't know lad, but I know this. None of you could beat the likes of William Wallace in a cross country race. The man had balls of steel and legs of iron. Bring it on Sajack and Coe!! Yer all wee pussies compared to he!!
He was 5'9 and 3/4" and weighed 119 pounds. Really. At the Euros in '78 he lost weight from food poisoning and raced at 112 pounds. He looked it too, if you can find a picture of that race.
The guy who said he was 5 inches is thinking of Seb Toe who was the son of Tom Thumb.
Yack Yack Yack Seb Toe Ha!!!!
I wonder what he ate to get the food poisoning. I think that is the period in his career when his coach was getting on him about biting and chewing his toenails. Maybe he ate a bad toenail.. It would be interesting to find a picture of his toes from that race and see if they look freshly chewed.
Tom Thumb. I think he grew up two towns over from me in Glenup Urass.
I could go for some fresh toenails myself right 'bout now. The kind with fresh fromundah cheese.
No it was the town (or hamlet should i say) Birdcoq-in-Memouth
Ah yes lad. I could I forget. Of course it was. Must've confused me cuntrees.
