I doubt anyone else would agree, and I think you need a running background to truly appreciate it, but to me Lasse Viren's fifth place finish in a very competitive 1976 marathon field, in his first marathon run ever, after WINNING the 5,000 and 10,000, is one of the most remarkable things I ever saw.
