If you have a video of a better kick in a big race, post it.
how about this one
I love that Munich 800 race. Borz...* had a nasty kick at Athens but I don't have a link to that video.
John Walker was a great runner, but what a b*tch move to pull up just because Ovett blew him out of the water and he knew he couldn't respond.

damn
Take a look at the 10,000 from Tokyo (64 Olympics). The kick in the final straight of the 10,000 when you are that far in front of the national record (i.e., this is not a sit-and-kick race, they went through 5000 in WR pace, and Tokyo was a bit on the warm and humid side, I think).
Going to an even further distance extreme, look at the final 300m at the Chicago Marathon. Adere was absolutely flying, she did the last 32-33 seconds in about the same time as the two men who were sprinting very hard. It is the longest sustained sprint in a marathon I have ever seen -- unbelievable that the womens finish would upstage the mens given the 0.05 second separation in the mens race.
