Happy New Year to one and all - hope somebody can help me out here. Does anybody have a complete race list for Steve Cram? I've got up to and including the LA Olympics in "Steve Cram - The Making of an Athlete" by Roger Tames but would love to get hold of the rest of his career up to 1993. Thanks in advance!
