    "Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob Paisley

      I knew that one was your favourite

      Comment


        Me and a mate were discussing the other night about favorite track and field events.

        I said 400m for the track and field was Javelin purely because I loved the battles between Steve Backley and Jan Zelezny in the 90's

        So lets have em then

          Pah, Steve Backley was just Phil Taylor with bigger darts and less accuracy.

          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

            I used to love watching Wilson Kipkeeter run the 800m, and Hicham El Guerrouj in the 1500m, awesome athletes.

            It's obvious, but my favourite was just watching Michael Johnson run, I was in awe of him every single time.

            For some reason I always preferred Mick Hill to Steve Backley too, he just seemed more down to earth and less arrogant

            Oh Steve Smith in the high jump too, loved him.

              Michael Johnson comes across as a really, really, really nice guy on BBC.

                His reaction to Mo Farah winning was brilliant.

                  Mo still has to run the 5000m doesn't he?

                    800m and 1500m for me. Used to love Seb Coe in the 80s.

                    Noughties version was a bit of a Tory tosspot but now redeemed himself after these marvellous games.

                            Field?

                            I found field difficult as alot of the events are a bit meh.

                            Thinking about it now Mike Powell v Carl Lewis in the long Jump
