I came back from behind to beat my brother for the last slice of pizza
Jeilan closes down Farah in 2011 - last man to beat him on the big stage, impressive. Too bad that dude hasn't been in more track races, his kick is nasty.
This should be considered. Ngugi fell and got up and immediately built a huge lead reminiscent to his 1988 Olympic 5000.
Best comeback...fail

Last? 3 people best Farah at World Indoors the next year. The NOP reality distortion field is really working. Not one, but THREE people beat him that day in what should be his best or second best distance.
I heard someone once got lapped in a marathon on the track and came back to win. Hard to beat that.
I'll be back.
when that cat on supervet went into cardiac arrest and the supervet massaged its heart with his fingers and gave it CPR and it came back to life, which apparently has only happened a few times in the world, ever
Yes he was on drugs...so was everyone else...but....Lance came back from cancer ..

Leigh Daniels (Texas tech) in Boise. 1999 NCAA 10k Championships. Someone stepped on her heel early in race wedging the back of her shoe under her heel. She had to stop and untie her shoe, put back in and retie the shoe. By time she entered race again she was 150m behind EVERYONE.
Patiently she took about 5k to catch leaders and won.
Greatest comeback in race I've ever seen.

Jesus...of course. Don't have video of that one.

LOL. I was hoping someone would say it.
Don't call it a comeback.
I've been here for years.

Your mom.
Everyone is wrong. Team down 41-17 with 3 minutes to go. The ending will blow your mind
