is this a joke ???
can't you comprehend it means not london nor los angeles
is this a joke ???
johnny whupped him with fast time a 1'43+ in stockholm, a neutral ground whereas coe's win was in london, his home town & track with all the crowd support/officials/hospitality/etc all behind him & not johnny
no
it was because coe wasn't quick enough to keep up with johnny & got whupped by a 1'43+
and 10 days later Coe beat Gray by a bigger margin in London[/quote]
on coe's home track with all conceivable support behind him & in slower time by which johnny had whupped him
is this a joke ??
a paltry 2'14.9 is nothing special even for a distance more often run in those days than today
his 1500 was a rubbish 3'34.2 in hengelo
he then prior to stuttgart got beaten by scott !!! in zurich
why do you not mention that ???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2mQQwu-jUEto any grown-up following sport avidly back then, coe looked 100% finished !!!
a 3'35 loss to guy with no known kick in a slow race !!!
to claim coe ran fastest 1500 of year before stuttgart is nonsense
his 3'34.2 in late-june was fastest upto that early point in season but between then & hengelo, numerous guys ran faster than 3'34.2
most notably abascal with 3'31.1 in barcelona & Maree with 3'32.5 in koln
even more impressively, both cram & scott clocked 3'48s in oslo before stuttgart
a travesty
- johnny was 1 - 1 with faster SB
- cram he was 1 - 0 but only because he quit edinburgh when 2 races in 1 day finished coe where he wouda got an almighty thrashing if reached final & cram had fastest clocking of year in 1'43.1 when having more of a fun-run in rieti after hangovers
