What commenters say. Recommended as the greatest track race of all time, with a final 200 meters that gives goosebumps every time.

In your opinion, what is the greatest track race of all time? Bonus points for sharing a link to it! 2004 1500m Olympic Final has my vote, that last 200m is goosebumps every time, but I’d love to see some others!
