Is there any top world-class runners that have deviated septum's. How does this effect someone's running?

Any top runner would have their deviated septum fixed probably before they even became a top runner. It's simple to diagnose and fix, and yes, a deviated septum can lead to lots of sinus problems which would impair hugely on performance.
I know there have been a few elite runners who have been badly affected with sinus problems, but as I said, if the cause was as simple as a deviated septum then they would likely have it fixed straight away. It's a day hospital operation.
Shannon Rowbury has used that nosering...I don't know might be useful for those suffering the condition.

I had surgery to correct a deviated septum. It takes a few weeks to be back to normal after the surgery. My reason was to allow me to sleep better and not snore. I still snore but not as bad, and I still wear nasal strips to sleep. I never thought about how it would impact running. I would have thought it would be a small effect since runners are mostly mouth breathing, but then again you do see runners wearing nasal strips to open up the nasal passages.
Lies , lies, and more lies. It has zero effect.
Deviated septum is what?

Yes, it's true. We had a discussion about whether big nostrils or big mouths were more important for runners earlier this year :
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=8077579It was established that big oral cavities were more important.
On easy runs and the beginning of races, I breathe in solely through my nose. The only time I breathe in through my mouth is when I'm running hard, even though I have a deviated septum.
I really don't think fixing a deviated septum would have a significant impact on performance, because most runners breathe in a more controlled manner rather than just gasping for air and breathing in as much as they can. A small increase in how much air you could take in probably wouldn't do anything, because already you aren't breathing in all the air you can so it wouldn't be a limiting factor for performance.
Though, I do think it would dramatically impact things like sleep quality. I go to bed every night with breathing strips, and there is absolutely no doubt that my sleep improved. The first time I did it, I had the first dream I had in at least 3 years, and the next day I felt much more rested than I've been for months. It would usually be hard for me breathing in while I lay down (I can't get that much air in), but it isn't with the breathing strips. There is no doubt that sleep and recovery have an impact on your training, and in that sense, it would make you a better distance runner.
Do not use an apostrophe + s to make a regular noun plural.

Similar to the apostrophe issue, the difference between your and you're is very easy to understand, and not a "mistake." I love that excuse. Ooooops, I made a "mistake." No, you are stupid and don't know the difference.
You're is a contraction of you are. It has no other uses. This is a 100% rule. If you cannot expand it to you are in your sentence, then it is wrong.
The word your sits before another word (usually a noun or a pronoun) to show that it belongs to "you" (e.g., your car, your arm), is of "you" (e.g., your picture, your photograph) or is related to "you" (e.g., your uncle).
You're welcome.
Fix your posture first before you get surgery

Be careful man, your deviated septum might explode into your frontal cortex and cause all sorts of complications. Frothing at the mouth is always bad for the health.

This shows how uneducated you are, as the act of passing grade 2 English has little to do with narcissism.
Furthermore, resorting to vulgar swearing and words like c*cksucker and MFer just completes the picture of a man who has nothing of value in his head, so out comes the little boy swear words instead of responding with anything resembling complex thought for a retort.
You narcissistic loser.
