This was not about 2012. It was a story of what Seb Coe calls the “hard graft, meticulous planning, small wins and frequent set-backs” that took him to twelve world records and two memorable Olympic golds. “You don’t become a champion by turning up and hoping to get lucky.

And they never say never.
