Latest Steve Ovett item

This is a shot of the cover of the November 1978 edition of Track and Field News

There are some good quotes in there, including one very sarcastic one about all the hard work put in by sports journalists in the bar before interviewing him, which all led to him not talking to the press.

There's also a list of his PBs from age 14 onwards which I'll add in some time.

The stat that struck me most though is the 37bpm of his heart at rest...

I am a Defender-ship. I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You?
