Brendan,

One more running clip: Ovett beats Rono in the rarely run 2 miles, 1978

3:16 into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfVDRQEePg

Thanks Geeker, that was great - what a golden period for middle-distance runners that was and for the Brits in particular:-)

PS I came across this clip on YouTube this week and thought you might enjoy it.

I'm rubbish but even I spotted the blunder!

PPS - Isn't that Anish in the crowd?

Thanks, Brendan.

I'd seen links to that Polgar video but hadn't watched. Definitely Giri in the background, he was in Madrid covering the Candidates T.

Watching the Ovett clips, I only now appreciate how awesome he was, and how often he routed world-class competition. Although I don't love his trademark home stretch waves to the crowd.

Didn't have time to do this last week - much harder than usual I thought.
