Athletics:
Brendan Foster names his favourite moments and athletes - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/40752586 Because a large chunk of the BBC's commentators are ex-middle and long distance runners, there does tend to be more coverage of that than there might be. Brendan Foster was one of them so these are all the glories of the 5000 m plus runners. I particularly recommend the 'favourite moment' bit but also the 'best performance', because Haile Gebrselassie at his pomp was something else.
