Yeah he avoided coe and cram in 1500

@@David-be7jn And Ovett.

@@redrum4100 Yes, obviously he didn't know Ovett was going have the problems he did.

Aouita's best by this time was 3:46.76 for the mile which he set only 2 days before this run. So he was perhaps a bit tired in this event and slightly under-performed. I broadly agree with your conversion, perhaps 15.5 - 17 seconds. Overall, Aouita, and Coe, and Ovett, and Cram, all under-performed in their era and now realise it, despite having broken all the records they achieved. Cram admitted as much when he saw Mo Farah run 3:28.8 in Monaco in 2013.

Amethystiumm Amythystiumm from the 5000 to 1500

What about Pavoo nurmi

Coe is number 1 in his era. None of the others you mention could match his records, wins or ability to win a race any which way. Don't get me wrong the others were magnificent but Coe is the best of all time based on the criteria above!!!

Neutral Observer. Nope , El Guerrouj is the Greatest of all time. 3:26.00 in 1500m is absolutely unbeatable for a very long time. Sebastien Coe has no records anymore. Aouita was also way better than Coe

@@Kryptonien99 Nah I personally believe Coe was better than Aouita. Maye personal preference but whatever.But Aouita was had a wide range and was way more versatile. But yeah no doubt EL G is the GOAT.

@@albardsahd8104 He was one of the first great runners of all time. He was unique, revolutionary and very very intense in his workout schedules. But he is another decade altogether . To draw comparisons between him and El G or any of the others here is just not possible.

You mean 51 second last lap!!!!

This is not true. Do some research. It's still massively popular indoors in the USA for example.

@@Alex-pr6zv It is true at the world level. Of the 195 countries in the world only the US, Liberia and Myanmar don't use the metric system. For all the exceptionalism expressed in declaring the US "the greatest country on Earth", US remains the only developed country that has failed to adopt the metric system. Exceptional alright, but not in a positive way. As for the example you provide (i.e., indoors in the USA) it is an exception that reinforces the rule, since no matter how massively popular in the US no other country holds indoor mile races. Also, please note that at the annually held World Athletics Indoor Championship only 1500 m races are being contested.

Cram was never the same after 1986. He lost his finishing speed. I presume he picked up some kind of injury, and never fully recovered.

@@keithbate9405 I think he was constantly plagued with calf problems. I remember Seb Coe being interviewed after the 87 world champs 1500 metre final where Cram finished 8th that Cram should get a full medical.

@@darrenshaw767 Cram won practically everything between 1982/86 including taking the 1500m and Mile World records, except for the Olympic title in 1984. Where Coe beat him. But I remember he had been injured over the winter months and missed most of his training. he did not even think he would make the Olympics. Coe was a great runner but missed so many major championships. Cram won far more titles at 1500m and even 800m. I am sure Cram had he been 100 % would have won that 1984 Olympic title too. Cram was finished at the top level after 1986. Coe had another Two good years. he most likely would have won the 1988 Olympics if he had been selected (Steve Crabb anyone ???). Coe ran around 1.42.7 for the 800m around the time of that Olympic 1500m final. Not sure that medical would have done much. His time had sadly gone. But what years he had in 1982/83/85/86 etc.

@@keithbate9405 valid points but I don’t believe if Cram had been 100% in 1984 he would have beaten Coe. I still think Coe had more in the tank in that final.

@@darrenshaw767 I think you underestimate how good Cram was in 1982/83/85/86 at 1500m and the mile. When Cram broke Coe's world mile record at Oslo (85) Coe could not cope with Cram's sustained burst from before the bell. His best time over a Mile was nearly a second quicker than Coe's. His fastest time at 1500m was also 0.1 sec quicker than Coe's best ever 1500m. A big gap at that elite level. Coe was quicker at 800m for sure. But Cram to me when 100% had the besting of Coe at 1500m and the Mile and proved it conclusively that evening at Bislett (85).

Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj research cram in 85/86 amazing speed endurance of last 300m.

APBC Technique and UK Osteopathy Nah he was steps behind the great Aouita

David Cohen Aouita was on HGH steroids

Yes Cram was the best in 85/86 his speed endurance was incredible - these years Coe would not beat him at 1500m - I don’t think anyone could

APBC Technique and UK Osteopathy You’re a funny guy , because at the time British and East Germans athletes were well known for abusing steroids.

Undoubtedly.

In third place was Steve Cra...bb!

It was Mamo Wolde from Ethiopia

El guerouj. 1000. 1500. 2000. 5000.

Jamal elghazi el guerrouj 7attam 1500 wel Mile w double Mile a 7nini

Jamal elghazi je suis né en 1966 , donc permet-moi de te dire que je connais les deux athlètes Aouita dans les années 80 et el guerrouj de 96 á 2004. El guerrouj a dominé les courses de Demi-find comme ne l’a jamais fait Aouita qui lui évitait toujours de tomber sur le britannique Steve Cram

راك جاهل يا أخي سواءا عويطة او الكروج فكيلهما أسطورة زمنه الكروج له ارقام قياسية ل 1500 والميل و 2000 متر لحدود الساعة وله دهبية المبية ل 5000 متر وفضية بطزلة العالم . صحح معلوماتك أضف اليه خالد السكاح من 1500 متر للميل و 3000 متر و 5000 و 10000 والسباق على الطريق و اختراق الضحية هؤلاء هم قادة الثلاث لالعاب القوى المغربية

@Jamal elghazi أنا جاوبت على قد المعلومة المنشورة قاليك هشام عندوا غير 1500 وعويطةوكلشي وقلت هذا غلط حتى الكروج سيطر على مجموعة من التخصصات وما قلت سعيد عويطة لا قلت كدالك الكروج يعني بجوجهم إمتازوا بالسيطرة على مختلف المنافسات . لدالك لا يجب التبخيس من عطائهم كلهم سواءاوهشام ولا سعيد ولا السكاح كلهم ابطال ممتازون جدا ولا يجب النقص من انجازاتهم .

if he'd run to 1200m 3 seconds slower, in 2:52, he would have run 3:47/8 probably. when he ran his WR and 3:48 in 1986 and 1988 and 3:52 Iin 1983 against Ovett, he went throgh 1200m slower and had more kick on the final lap of each of those races. He said this himself in the interview..

he suffered more injuries

I need to correct myself. Looks like Mays for once did his pacemaking job well with two fairly even laps and Cram had the perfect chance to run 3.45 but clearly he was not in 1985 form and died on the last lap. BTW the 3.30.4 that Auoita ran is not, as the commentator said - equiv to a 3.45 mile. It is more like a 3.48 mile.

Stuart steve cram had kidney stones removed a little while after this, he was suffering all year from it but didn't know!!!!! Check it out yourself!!!!! It destroyed his season and could have seriously been life threatening!!!!

Stuart steve cram did not flop he had injuries plus kidney stones!!!!!!!!!

Coe was the master. He could sprint off a fast pace with 250 to go and then go even quicker with 100 to go. He absolutely destroyed fields and was poetry in motion!!!

I don’t know what shit you’re smoking on spare time dude!! If Ngeny the world record holder of the 1000m, Aouita who use to run the 800m easily in 1:43, and El Guerrouj the GOAT running the last 800m of a 1500m race in 1:46 and Morceli’s last 400m in 50.4 sec not kickers you’re out of your mind lmao 🤣

@@saadel8129 No he's absolutely right, they weren't kickers. Where he's wrong is including Cram. Cram couldn't kick either. Coe and Ovett however could just wait and wait till 200 or 150 or 100 to go and then simply run away from a field. The other runners mentioned didn't run that way!!

Nah, Morceli was a great kicker. In the 1993 WCs, he put down a 50.? last 400 to finish off a 3:34 and leave Fermin Cacho in his dust. In other words, he outkicked an Oly gold medallist who had made a career as a kicker.

@@randyevermore9323 A last 400 isn't a kick. That's stamina. A "kick" is when they are close to home and one runner destroys the field by a sudden "KICK". If you want to see examples of that, just watch Coe and Ovett in their prime!!!
