Zurich Weltklasse track and field meeting 22 August 1984.

Sebastian Coe in sparkling form, shortly after retaining his Olympic title in Los Angeles.

Although intended as an attempt on Steve Ovett's thenworld record, the pacemaking in the middle part of this race wasn't good enough to allow Coe to challenge the record. Despite this, it was a very impressive performance, and was one of the top 20 times ever recorded at that time.
