This should be an interesting thread.

Looking from top to bottom (as opposed to say the gap just between 1st and
2nd) I imagine that it will be an 800 meter race or maybe a vertical jump.
In this year's U.S. trials alone both the semis and finals were extremely
close in the 800 and there were jumpoffs for both first place and third
place in the vertical jumps.

I seem to remember a 400H race in the eighties involving Edwin Moses where
at least the top three were very close.  I know there have been some VERY
close 110H races in the past decade.

I would guess that the Kenyan national championships would have some close
distance races.
