Michael Johnson didn’t have a conventional running style.
All that coaching time teaching kids to “bang the drums” wasted.
I loved the way Johnson ran. Not what was expected at all

Car crash no?
Apparently so. Just seems an odd thing to intentionally leave out of a report

Have you had a look at the Olympics prices yet?
Not yet. It’s probably the purest to odds sport.

A class athlete and person. 26 years is a great record. Fair play to English to eventually break it. He missed it by a couple of hundreds in London in 2013.

Video of it below. He finished 2nd. Look at the effort he puts in on the last 50m. Having the lad on his shoulder was a massive help I’d say. Definitely left everything out there anyway

Some run. He skipped the nationals to chase the qualification time. Vindicated his decision.
