Released in 1992, this video will go far in meeting the interests of the middle distance fan seeking coverage of Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe. Starting from the 1976 Olympic 800 meter final ran by Ovett, this film scans the careers of both men through the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Coe was the first athlete to repeat as 1500 meter Olympic Champion and you will also see many World Record performances, medal ceremonies, and commentary from the athletes themselves. There are images of training, racing, and many awards regarding the accomplishments of these great runners. This production has a length of 26:30 and is narrated by Kenneth Branagh, directed by Ken McGill, written by Patrick Collins, and produced by Neil Duncanson. This video is rare and consider yourself lucky if you see it available on an auction web site.
