The Perfect Distance - Ovett and Coe: The Record-Breaking Rivalry (Paperback)
by Pat Butcher
The Perfect Distance - Ovett and Coe: The Record-Breaking Rivalry
Amazon Price: $10.85 (as of 12/22/2009)
Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe presided over the golden era of British athletics. Between them they won three Olympic gold medals, two silvers, one bronze, and broke a total of twelve middle-distance records. As far apart as possible in terms of class and upbringing, their rivalry burned as intense on the track as away from it. The pendulum swung between the pair of them-each breaking the other's records, and, memorably, triumphing in each other's events in Moscow in 1980. The Perfect Distance is both a detailed re-creation and a fitting celebration of the greatest era of British athletics.

- I love that you made a site on a great middle distance runner. I'll have to check out the other ones on Ovett and Cram. I would like to see more info about his running career, though. What are his PRs? Great victories? Wasn't his father pretty extreme? I'd love to know more.
That said, where do you think Coe ranked among great Olympic distance performers?
