A previous poster alluded to cadence. I heard/read somewhere that Joaquim Cruz had an unusually long stride length. Seeing him run in person confirmed that his cadence was noticeably lower than runners at the same pace. He had good form, but I still think Letesenbet is "coolest".
"While watching NCAA’s today, I was reminded of how much I admire Parker Wolfe’s running form. It’s rare to describe a running form as 'cool,' but I like Parker's for some reason. Off the top of my head, Moh Ahmed also comes to mind as someone with smooth and effortlessly cool form. I can’t think of any female runners at the moment, though. Maybe Faith Kipyegon? Are there any other runners whose form you think is cool—or even enviable?"
Ritz not because it is beautiful but I always liked the grit he showed. Especially in HS.

I have to mention Conor Mantz, becausr his style of running redefines "cool": its so uncool its cool. I love watching him run: all out abandon, like a freshman in high school going after the big dogs 100%! Thing is you know he isnt naive or a flash in the pan: that guy means it! And he isnt going to let up until hes run you into the ground! Indefatigable! I think he scares the African princes.

The reason we don't have a more popular sport, is because this is peak conversation about it.
