What do you regard as the greatest feat in sports history?

[IngeKJ]

The miracle of Istanbul.

Actually remember that. Did not think it was a chance in hell after half-time.

Not GOAT, but have y'all heard of the Pirates' pitcher who threw a no-hitter while tripping on LSD?

I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the [catcher's] glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters, and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me.[26]

I think this deserves a mention as well

Greece winning Euro 2004

literally the biggest underdog (along with Latvia) of the tournament...

[Kev1972]

Cal Ripkens consecutive game streak.

Brett Favre's streak is more impressive than Cal's IMHO. A much more physically demanding sport and the most demanding position in that sport.

Plus he gets bonus points for texting dik piks.

[Zelezny]

Bob Beamons 8.90m




And Uwe Hohn WR.



They had to change the center of gravity because of him.

The most demanding in the sport??? I know there was controversy when he set the record. Main argument was that for QBs, ~50% of plays will be run, meaning handoff and back away...

Not trying to knock Favre because he was one of the toughest SOBs to play the position. Did you see his ankle in his last ever game. Holychitballz the man had a pair on him.

Just saying that other positions are more physically demanding.

Travis Pastrana Lands first Double Backflip


Kelly McGarry's RedBull Rampage Run last year

Miracle on Ice for once in a lifetime achievements.

Perfect game for more regularly occurring achievements.

[AgRyan]

Trauma beating the Russians in the World Cup after sucking all year when the Russians were an unstoppable force.

[Roach06]

Phelps winning all dem medals a few years back...swam for 14 years

Cal Ripken's consevutive game streak....childhood hero

Emmit Smith's total rushing yds record.

[IngeKJ]

Travis Pastrana Lands first Double Backflip

Ho Lee Fuk at the mountain bike one

[Chitownkid]

Probably the 2004 Red Sox. Down 3-0, down to their final 3 outs, left for dead basically against the greatest closer of all time.

[Arsenal01]

leo messi 3 ballon d'or (in a row) by age 24

Probably 1980 miracle on ice hockey team.

Or the LA kings "fog game"

Or the canada vs. Russia summit series last game in 72.






For some reason all thst comes to mind are old hockey games.....espn hockey classics ov peace

[magyard]

The miracle of Istanbul.

I'd go for this one. As a Bayern fan before Guardiola I will never forget this. At the age of 9, kept on crying even the following day,

[CanardLaque]

1998 France beat Brazil team in the world cup.

Ronaldo/ Rivaldo had nothing for Zidane.

[BIG_FAT_SLAPPER]

Most of you are picking most exciting or biggest upset. For me it has got to be Bolt's 100m WR.

Absolutely everyone has sprinted, everyone knows if they're fast or not. It is the blue ribbon event at the olympics and he blew everyone away...he then broke it again running a ridiculous time. Bolt is just a freak of nature, only person mentioned so far even can be talked about in the same breath is Michael Jordan...but that is more of a career than feat.

The Spotto one is a pretty good one as well, it is a silly amount to bench.

[aal04]

Wilt Chamberlains 10,000 girls

Bo Jackson making the All Star team in two separate professional sports.

Best athlete in American history in my opinion.

[Rockall]

"49, 49, undefeated. 49, 49, I say. 49, 49, undefeated. Playing football the Arsenal way."

wow impressive fuking song bro

[Skausar]

That's the GOAT smash and grab for sure.

I'm obviously biased because I'm a Liverpool fan, but imo the combination of dat Milan team tho, the half-time score, and the fact we fielded Djimi Traore makes it the greatest feat in football that I've ever seen.

1998 France beat Brazil team in the world cup.

Ronaldo/ Rivaldo had nothing for Zidane.

meh, don't know. Great performance from France for sure but the game lacked the thrill so no feat IMHO.

[miamigoon]

Phelps in 2008 Olympics and I don't even give a sh-t about swimming. Will never happen again.

[Daz206]

John Stockton's all time assist record. This, folks, will NEVER be beaten.

[PrinceGray]

1992 Buffalo Bills being down 38-3 to the Houston Oilers at halftime in the first round of the playoffs and coming all the way back to win 41-38 in overtime en route to 4 consecutive Super Bowl appearances.

[iAndrew1994]

man utd v byern cl final

[iAndrew1994]

Scrap that

Lewis Hamilton last race in 2008 to clinch the championship.

Massa went onto win, Hamilton needed 5th place or more to win the championship. Massa family celebrate prematurly when Massa crosses the line. Hamilton overtakes moving up from 6th to 5th on last corner, crushing the brazilian party. LOL's were had.
