hi pb's in the 100m and long jump (arguably his 2 best events) would have got him
bronze in the 100m in 1980, 4th in 1984
5th in the long jump, both 80 and 84
in fact his 100m time in LA meant he ran faster than all 3 brits who ran the 100m proper that year in LA

Hard to choose from Daley Thompson Sebastian Coe Kelly Holmes and Jess Ennis Hill.
I think Coe just edges it for me, probably for holding that 800m record for so long.Daley and Coe were both sublime athletes, there is also an argument for mo farah
Coe was a graceful athlete who was at the forefront if middle distance for many years. Daley was the master though
