Another Bernard Lagat kick, does it work out as well this time?  2004 Athens Olympics 1500m final, dueling Hicham El Guerrouj.

P.S., this is one of my favorite races of all time to watch.

I hold my contention that Bernard Lagat has the best finishing face in all of track and field.  Is there an emoticon for eyes wide open? 8o ? (via http://www.letsrun.com/photos/2011/presaturday/imagepages/image87.php)
