What is the name of that statue?

Question:I saw this statue once years ago (on either tv or in the newspaper) and I thought it was "David." But when I googled "David" it's definitely not him, but it's like that one. The pose he's in is almost like a "runner's crouch." Like he's at a starting line. He has a really nice physique/abs, Adonis - like features, etc. Sorry that's the best way I can describe it.....What is this statue and who's it by? Thanks.

Sounds like it might be something by Rodin. You might try googling his works.
