Boston 2014. No need for a tournament.

Please add an asterisk to any race won by the spring shoes.
Any love for Ashton Eaton winning a Diamond league 400 hurdles? (2014 I think. Don't remember which one).
Would be cool to see some underdogs or high seed darkhorses
ex: Coburn wins 3k steeple DL Shanghai because nobody realized she was an actual racer
Mo losing and that Ethidopian mocking him by making the Mobot gesture!

Wasn't a Diamond League race.
And if you can't even remember the meet (Oslo) then it wasn't that great.
Rio women’s 10000m. Mind boggling!
2013 Great North Run
Chris Solinky’s sub 27 @ Payton Jordan
Kendall Ellis making up a >50m deficit on the last leg of the 4x4 to win the 2018 NCAA Outdoor champs, USC had to win the event to win the meet, and win they did.
Prolly need more sprint stuff or to have a separate bracket. Just one Bolt race? Also need more marathon majors. Boston was fantastic in 2011, both men & women. London/Boston/Chicago were good last year. Bekele/Geb/Farah at Great North 2013.
90 men's choices to 30 women's choices so far. Might want to figure out what the right ratio should be. Kosgei is on the considered column? What about Valencia? Flanagan NYC? Mary Keitany belongs somewhere in here. Joyciline Jepkosgei's 1:04. Plenty of good NCAA races to think about. etc.
Agree with Solinsky AR inclusion
It is not a race - but including the 2019 Worlds Men’s Shot Put would include likely the greatest competition of the decade.

That shot put was easily the greatest shot put ever. It was fantastic even for someone like me that's not into field events. My vote would be for either 2013 GNR with Haile, Bekele, and Mo or 2019 Berlin marathon. Bekele just knows how to put on a damned show. They think they got him on the ropes and then devastation occurs.
mens NCAA XC 2016 (Tiernan over Ches)
Centro won the 1500, not the 1600 at the Olympics.
Also a women's 1500 is listed under the sprints in the "by category" tab.
2019 World Champs Sifan closes sub 4!
Put a couple of Paul Chelimo races in there
How about some XC? World Cross, NCAAs, something in Scotland?
2015 Monaco DL W 1500m (Dibaba WR)
2014 Monaco DL M 1500m (top 7 sub 3:30)
2010 Penn Relays M 4x800m CoA (Andrews vs Wheating to the line)
2016 MPSF M Mile (McGorty vs Yorks, both run 3:53)
2016 Olympic W 10k (Ayana 29:17)
2014 Zurich DL W 1500m (Simpson beats Rowbury by 0.01 for the DL title)
2011 Footlocker Nationals boys race (Ches vs Futsum to the line)
2011 Adidas Dream Mile (Verzbicas 3:59, first since Webb and fifth ever)
2017 WC W Steeple (Coburn and Frerichs go 1-2)
"FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL"!
Unfortunately, Heather Dornidan's 600m at Big 10s was before 2010 or it might be the best ever.
It'd be awesome if there were links to vids to the races. And a YouTube play list so I could watch them on the treadmill.
This is a cool idea.

That would be really neat.
I think Penn Relays Jordy Williamsz vs Cheserek should be in the 64, just for pure WTF-ness. Never seen a race play out quite like that before.
