Sunday’s Sojourn: Coe vs. Ovett: Greatest Rivalry Ever?

Posted by Jimmie R. Markham | July 24, 2008

Welcome to Sunday’s Sojourn, a series that seeks out the best track & field videos for your weekend viewing pleasure. While I was surfing YouTube just now searching for a cool track & field video snippet that I might be able to share with you, I stumbled across this documentary for the first time. So far I’ve only watched part 1, but I got so excited that I had to post it immediately.

It’s about the Steve Ovett/Sebastian Coe rivalry in the late 70’s/early 80’s, arguably the greatest rivalry in the history of track & field. I’ll be watching the rest of it over the next 40 minutes or so (total running time for the 6 parts: 39:15). Join me in watching it, will you? (You can access parts 2 through 6 after the jump):
