Great story, Ken and a lovely moment for his dad. Love it when the underdog wins :)

[Ken4155]

So do i, Choux, especially when they're Brits:-))

[choux]

Especially when someone has booked their journey home for the next day in anticipation of failure :D

[Ken4155]

I'd bet dad was expecting to call his son home nearer last than first.

[choux]

I doubt anyone there looked more surprised than the Champ himself from that photograph. Well done to him!

[Sqad]

Yes, a great revival of English middle distance runners.....Bannister, Overt, Cram and co.
Well done.

[Sqad]

Coe.

[Ken4155]

Was that pun intended, sqad ( 'and co' = Coe)? :-)

[Ken4155]

Crossed posts, sqad, but you didn't amend 'Overt' (Ovett) :-)))

[Sqad]

LOL Ken.....bit early in the morning for sqaddy boy's brain.

All were mistakes and well spotted.
