Anyone that disagrees with the fact that this is the best photo ever is wrong.
Trying to find the one where the steeple chase runner falls head first into the water and all you see is his leg. I came across this one which in no way is the best running pic ever, but it made me laugh.

Have to scroll down one picture to see Brendan Foster and Frank Shorter running through a farmhouse at Cinque Mulini.
The last lap of 5,000 meters final at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki.
Emil Zatopek comes in from fourth place on the last lap to pass Alain Mimoin (FRA), Herbert Schade (GER) and Chris Chattaway (GBR).

To steal a photo off the link you posted, I have to nominate this one of Prefontaine in Germany, which I've always loved:
