Summary
Two-time Olympic champion Seb Coe breaks down the "Killing Zone", the brutal 500m–600m window he used to dismantle his rivals. He reveals how he pioneered the use of elite support teams, transforming the 800m into a calculated science where no detail was left to chance. The discussion shifts to the icons of today, from Keely Hodgkinson’s grounded authenticity to Usain Bolt’s official return via the new Ultimate Championship. Coe also reflects on David Rudisha’s 2012 world record, calling it the greatest single performance in sporting history. Coe addresses the sport's future and the impact of the climate crisis. He explains the historic decision to move the marathon to Athens in 2030 and offers a candid take on "supershoes," weighing the thrill of new records against the need to preserve the sport’s heritage.
