SEB COE vs STEVE OVETT 'CLASH OF TITANS' 1980s BBC SPORT

Sebastian Coe was a genius, Steve Ovett was a genius. Steve Cram joined them, for the greatest era of British middle distance running ever seen!! Although the likes of Daley Thompson and Carl Lewis have not shown up since either, these middle-distance runners were the kings of the track, and these guys' awesome rivalry (all the way to the end) made the events worth their weight in gold, silver and bronze...

as a point of discussion - can sports champions be accoladed with the term 'genius'.."4. natural ability..inclination..special genius.....Synonyms: gift, talent, aptitude, faculty."
