> So what was the most closely contested high-level track or field event ever? 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. - Ed Parrot
