José Luis González subcampeón del mundo 1500 Roma 1987

1,500m (06:09) 1st Abdi Bile (Somalia) 3:36.80, 2nd José Luis González (Spain) 3:38.03, 3rd Jim Spivey (United States) 3:38.82. A great race by José Luis González, who came up against an unstoppable Abdi Bile. He followed Steve Cram's lead throughout, but ultimately lost out on a medal. After Abascal's bronze in Los Angeles 1984, this was Spain's greatest success in the 1500m event, later surpassed by Fermín Cacho's Olympic gold in Barcelona 1992.
