Coe, showing good form on the way into the 1980 Olympics, took a half a second off of Rick Wohlhuter's 1000m world record to become the only man in history to concurrently hold the 800/1000/1500 and mile WR's.This distinction lasted for just an hour when his great rival and compatriot Steve Ovett took the mile record at the same meet!
