OVETT was a giant of the 1500m with dominance of the distance few can boast…best highlighted by the fact that between 1977-1980 he won 45 consecutive races over the Mile and 1500m alongside several World Records!!!🔥
European 1500m Gold in 1978 was followed by Olympic Bronze in 1980 [Moscow] and of course his most famous win, that 800m Olympic Gold!🥇🥇🥉
Awarded an OBE [Officer of the British Empire] in 2000, today we celebrate STEVE OVETT as the Men’s 1500m No.8 GREATEST OF ALL-TIME…💫🐐
