& again you forget to mention that centro ran last 600 solo whereas coe got drafted around until his kick off the bend
huge disadvantage for centro
nonsense
he maya got close to 1'48-flat if he'd started his kick earlier but again that wouda mean he lost that huge drafting advantage he got, slowing that 1'48.0
no chance 1'47.0
why can't you think ???
centro front-ran last 600
nonsense
centro looks in 3'29+ shape
coe was not in better than 3'30-low/mid shape in '80
centro coud be upto 1s better shape than coe was in '80
the fact that it was essentially a 800 race in both cases erodes centro's advantage meaning it wouda been a virtual toss-up as to who woud win
whoever got drafted woud have huge advantage, but i don't see coe running anything like a 1'48+ if he was asked to lead last 800
more like crawl to 1300 & then a big-kick
ask him to run hard like straub did for him & i definitely give win to centro
nonsense stats
centro ran solo last 600 whilst coe was drafted for 470m of the last 600
what on earth does your neurone think coe's last 200 wouda been if he'd run the last 600 solo ???
nonsense consideration seeing as centro was solo last 600 & coe drafted for ~ 470m of it
nonsense consideration considering above of solo v hugely drafted for most of last 600
in coe's favour
however his races were rubbish clockings : 1'48 / 1'46 / 1'45.8 / 3'40 / 3'39 & then 3'38.4 in final
guys like cruz/Rudy put in 1'43/1'44 prelims meaning real energy-sapping runs
clueless
it only takes 1 good performance providing no mickey-mouse track/timing
as for "multi-wr holder", coe's 1500 clockings are nothing special by today's standards
in '80 he was worth nothing better than 3'30-low/mid in a perfect rested race
centro looks 3'29+, significantly faster than coe-'80 & this run by centro was not rested !!!
also, eugene weather was far too damn hot for an ideal 1500 which shoud be ~ 70F
temperatures in eugene were pushing 100F on friday/saturday
far too hot to run an ideal 1500
utter nonsense
in '80, coe's 1500pb was 3'32.0
centro currently has a 3'31.0pb
1s faster than coe's was in '80
get a clue
clueless
coe had 3'32.0pb at the time
centro 1s faster at 3'31.0
clueless
coe hadn't broken 3'32 by moscow & didn't in '80
you offer nonsense
utter nonsense
coe never faced anyone in moscow or in '80 who had broken 3'32
centro has to face guys who in start of this decade :
3'27+ : 2
3'28+ : 2
3'29+ : 6
i have not even bothered with pathetic 3'30 let alone 3'31 !!!
the level today at 1500 is quantum leap above '80
coe never had to face anytime in his career a guy like Asbel who finished a 3'31.1 with a 12.4 !!!
centro wouda been chomping at the bit to run moscow '80
conversely coe in '80 shape wouda had had no chance in a fast 1500 in this era :
silas ran 3'27.6 with 53.9 finish !!!
nonsense
coe never broke 3'32 by end '80
nonsense
see what 1500 "legend" coe of '80 shape wouda been in current era
like i said, centro wouda been chomping at the bit if feasting on '80 guys
eh ???
what happened to oslo or zurich ???
what has suddenly gone wrong with them ???
nonsense
coe was never capable of 3'27
in firenze shape he was 800 orientated & woudn't have broken 3'29
4/52 later, he had lost his 800 shape as 8 more stand-alone 800s no better than 1'45.4 after firenze shows, he was better endurance wise & probably good for 3'29-flat in stockholm-'81
nearly 6/52 later in brussels & then 9/7 later in zurich he was in 3'28-mid/high shape, but his 800 shape was not firenze, regardless of mickey-mouse of it
you seem to be so clueless as to think a guy maintains his top-shape for any event after 2.5 months + ???!!!
coe's best 800 shape was early-season '81 & slower 800 shape in late-season '81 as his rubbish 8 stand-alone 800s shows, but his 1500 was slightly better
utter nonsense
centro has a ~ 1s superior 1500pb to coe-'80
that gives him huge shot at winning '80 1500, especially considering he ran solo last 600 & coe was drafted last ~ 470m of it & centro still ran 1.15s faster !!!
what on earth does your neurone think centro's last 800 or 600 or 200 wouda been if he'd had straub drafting him around ???
