USA VS USSR
Lagat vs El G
...
I think Tergat vs Geb is the biggest just because they're both so incredible and have been racing each other (and each other's records) for 15 years. The rivalry is pretty small now since both are pretty old, and after Berlin 2007 I don't think there's any more ways Haile can challenge Tergat.
Coe vs Ovett
Powell vs Gatlin/Gay (not that big, but just thought I'd throw it out there)
Mottram vs All Africans
Webb vs Ritz (not much of a rivalry but does seem to bring a lot of excitement everytime these guys line up together)

Rono vs Salazar
