With Coe, Cram and Ovett, Britain was in the unique position of field- ing the Olympic and World Champions and the World record holder - all different athletes. Coe was the least likely to make the team after serious illness in 1983 and defeat by Peter Elliott at the AAA Championships, but his form then picked up. Abascal was the fastest in both the heats (3:37.68) and semis (3:35.70). Cram won the slower semi-final in 3:36.30, and Khalifa’s 3:36.76 in fifth in that race was the slowest qualifying time, leaving Uwe Becker (3:37.28) and Stefano Mei (3:37.96) out in the cold. Khalifa led for the first lap in the final, just ahead of Chesire. Scott took over shortly after and led to 900m, when Abascal, a tempo runner without a big kick, took over and wound up the pace. At 1100m Abascal (2:39.1) led by 2m from Coe (2:39.3), with Cram (2:39.6) and Ovett (2:39.8) just behind. Ovett dropped out shortly after, succumbing to the breathing problems which had plagued him in Los Angeles. Cram attempted to pass Coe with 200m to go, but the reigning cham- pion smoothly accelerated and surged past Abascal. Coe ran his last three 100m in 13.3, 13.0 and 12.9 to cross the line 7m clear before shaking his fist in triumph and shouting words which included “who says I’m finished now?” ... winning the race and silencing his critics in the British press.
