With everything going on in this world, I feel like I am on the Titanic with Obama at the helm. So I thought, since it is inevitable that we are going to hit the ice berg and sink, we might as well discuss something very subjective, will provoke thought and take our minds off the fact there aren't enough life rafts.

I don't have a top 10, but I will add the first one to the group.

1- Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes.

This is tough because there are so many sports, and most of them have more than one defining moment. Some to consider that may not have been listed upthread yet:

Olympic Gymnastics: Nadia’s perfect 10 (1st ever), Mary Lou Retton’s perfect 10 to win US gold, Keri Strug’s vault on a bad leg to secure gold

Olympic Swimming: Spitz’s 7 gold medals, Phillips’ 8

College basketball: NC State buzzer-beater airball (pass?) tip-in win over Houston, Villanova beating Georgetown

World Cup Soccer: Maradonna’s “hand of God” goal

Professional Golf: Tiger Woods destroying the competition by 10+ strokes at Augusta (Masters) and Pebble Beach (US Open)

Olympic Track: Breaking the 4-minute mile
