Paul Ereng Steve Ovett etc... If you want smooth, it's in the 400. Alonzo Babers probably the smoothest. Danny Everett, Steve Lewis...

So true. She always looks like she's not kicking at all, even when pulling away to win a 1:58 half.

Is there a youtube video of the race? I'm in the UK and I can't watch the replays because apparently they (the NBC ones) aren't available in this country.
They aren't available here either.

Judging by the splits, it appears that Loxsom relaxed for the final 200m.
Probably not this guy:

Last 100m in 12.3 in a 1:44.0.
Relaxed at speed, hardly out of breath at end.

Don't sugar coat hitting the wall with relaxation.

Murphy didn't look like the epitome of relaxed to me. Lagat does though.
Bernie is the real silky smooth.
Nah, you're just for Bernie because of his, eh, skin 'tone'. He's a drug cheat and shouldn't be mentioned here.

Nope. Wilson Kipketer was the smoothest of them all. Capt. EPO Komen was no smoother than El G or a truckload of others.
Train them to poop themselves at 600m. that's relaxed

Considering what's happened over the past month, it looks like Nijel Amos' (or do we call him DJ Zoro?) kick is due to drug use. Just sayin'.

I am planning to have my high school and middle school runners watch the OT 800 final as well as the NCAA 1500 to watch Clayton Murphy relax into his kick.
Are there any other runners/races that could be as good for teaching? It would be nice to have some women included in the list.
