Briton, Steve Ovett won the Olympic 800-metre gold medal at Moscow in 1980. He was well known for his strategy of running with the bunch through the first 700 metres and then accelerating to complete the race with a devastating ‘finishing kick’.
When Ovett was asked how he developed the ‘finishing kick’, he said that he first experimented with it as a five-year-old just around the corner from his home. “I smashed some kid over the head with a milk bottle and had to run like hell to get away from his mother,” he recalls.
