Anatomy of two races : 800m WR Seb Coe, Wilson Kipketer

Total blasts from the past. Two paced 800m World Records by Seb Coe (1981) and Wilson Kipketer (1997, sorry, in German, how nicely poised does he look). Still today among the very, very few who have cracked 1:42. Both races almost identically run, near perfection pacing at 49.0 for Wilson, 49high for Seb with a 2 second slow down in the second lap for each.
