flyingfinn Aug 2014 1:26pm, 13 Aug 2014 517 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn 1988 100m has to be in the frame but what about 1996 Olympic 10,000m, Gebrselassie against Tergat? Or either of Coe's Olympic 1500m wins or his 800m WR? Rudisha's 800m WR at London or Cram v Aouita in Nice 1985 when Cram took Ovett's WR? So many to chose from...
