Lattany Sets 300m World Best. Coe Hurtful 800m Loss in Gateshead
Mel Lattany of the United States roared to a world best 32.15 in the rarely run 300 meters at Gateshead, England, collapsing with joy at the finish as Pietro Mennea’s 32.23 record fell. Sebastian Coe endured a sensational 800m defeat, while Mary Decker set a U.S. 800m mark and Steve Ovett proved fitness by winning a 1000m, ahead of Helsinki worlds debut. Carl Lewis opts for three events only, skipping the 200m in Helsinki, and Lattany inherits Lewis’ 200m berth for August’s world championships.
