Always had a soft spot for Emmanuel Mutai (@ his prime).. his running form was poetry in motion.
Used to also like Mo of a few years ago on the track.
Bekele an obvious mention & I would also include Moses Mosop (the Big Engine)
I'm sure I'm missing a few more.
Everybody who has run faster than him.

Kejelcha’s form as of late has looked pretty good too.
While Centro always appears easy, I wouldn't say his form is that aesthetic. Heavy heel striker, even when he's sprinting. It looks okay when he's in the group but as soon as he's by himself it looks kind of tight.
One that comes to mind for me too is Genzebe. Powerful, no wasted motion
Bikila>Bekele

The best, most natural, how humans are suppose to run. Running in shoes is like playing darts blind, to hit the target or have good form is just a guessing game.
Watch a video of the 2003 WC 10,000 meter race. The 3 Ethiopians move together in near perfect sequence. I wouldn't say Bekele's form is better than Sihine's or Geb's. Although he was able to hold that classic Ethiopian form longer than anyone.

Komen was incredible to watch.

Yea but his form is clearly terrible because he’s got a crossover gait.
