Noureddine Morceli - 1993 Season


Morceli made amends for his up-and-down 1992 season by going undefeated over four events and setting the world record in the mile (3:44.39). To top it off, he ran the second fastest 1500 & 3000 ever - not to mention the fourth fastest kilometer. As proof that he would no longer fall prey to slow, tactical races like Barcelona the year before, Morceli kicked in 50.6 at the World Championships in Stuttgart to convincingly win the 1500m after a 1:59 first half-mile.
