Dis gon b good.
Not that I've seen most of El G's races, but Athens 2004 for the Olympic 1500m win was a great race. Lagat was so close and Rui Silva so impressive, too.

Just about my favorite race to watch. I don't know if this is true, but a friend told me that during the last 800 each 100m split was faster than the last.
Every time I watch this, I swear that THIS TIME Lagat's going to get him! Brussels 2001, two of the 3 fastest 1500s ever run were in this race:

And this is the 2004 1500 final, arguably the greatest distance race ever held:
1999 world championships final
Most doped race of all time

It is true. Such an amazing run, dude was crazy
El G is TBE.
Mayweather has it right.
The last 800 of the 2004 1500 final was run in 1:46.
El G's last 800m in that 2001 Brussels was 1:49.0. For a final time of 3:26.13.
