Paula's toilet break tops poll

Paula Radcliffe's wee stop during the London marathon has been voted running's most memorable event.

Her unscheduled roadside toilet break in 2005 beat Sir Roger Bannister's historic four-minute mile in 1954.

Radcliffe's embarrassing moment received 28% of the online vote - 1% more than Bannister's memorable run.

In third place, with 20%, was the clash of British great rivals Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett in the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Coe, now Lord Coe, finished second to his rival in the 800m, but took the gold in the 1,500m race.

In fourth place, was another duel, between South African Zola Budd and American Mary Decker in the 3,000m at the 1984 Olympics.

The race ended in tears for both after they collided. Decker fell over while Budd finished out of the medals.

Jesse Owens' feat of winning four golds in front of Hitler at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin was voted fifth.
