The Greatest Sports Victory in Modern History

[GTaudiophile]

In honor of the Winter Olympics, I thought you might want to watch it.

That's not a horse. It was clearly a robot.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

I love watching that. No matter how many times I've seen those highlights they never get old.

I would say Canada vs USSR in Hockey 1972 is the greatest Victory in modern history.

This is something that can't really be agreed upon, because of the nature of Sport and its' Fans.

That horse was extrasupernatural.

The horse, Sham, that was right beside him seemed to be simply run of the mill supernatural

Many people forget about Sham, the horse who raced against Secretariat in the Triple Crown. He was destined to be forgotten unless he was to race for several more years like Forego or face rivals that were not the greatest racehorse to ever live. In the Derby, Sham ripped two teeth out in the starting gate, and bled the entire way. Even still, he finished with a time of 1:59 4/5. That time was good enough to win every single Kentucky Derby, but one. The Preakness result was exactly the same.

No This Is

PWNT?

I've never seen the Secretariat race before, always heard about it.

I am now convinced that the horse was sent back to eliminate John Connor by Cyberdyne systems. Wow! I wonder if the horse just got pissed off and just poured it on or something.

 

[sandorski]

No. This is the greatest sports victory.

I assume they didn't test for drugs in those days.

His jockey whispered there's pussy after the finish line.

It most definitely is due to the fact that US used ametuers, USSR used pros, the Cold War going on and the USSR domination up to that point.

 

[Dominato3r]

Salt lake gold medal hockey game imo.

 

[Minjin]

Are there any popular races longer than 1 1/2 miles? It seems like Secretariat would have dominated ever more at longer distances.

Interesting aside: I grew up on Spend a Buck Dr. Right next to it was Northern Dancer Dr and Secretariat Dr.

 

[JMapleton]

This is a nice one I always liked, starts at 1:30

Horse had a 22lbs heart. :O

Mens 4x100 relay in the 2008 olympics was pretty good. Particularly because the French were talking trash before hand

 

[ProfJohn]

This has to be the greatest sports victory in modern history.

Imagine a bunch of college hockey players getting together and beating the NHL all-stars in a game. And don't forget that these all-stars played together for years and years.

Prior to the Olympics the Soviet team was 5-3-1 against NHL teams in exhibitions and had beaten an NHL all star team 6-0 in 1979.

On top of that these two teams met on Feb 9th and the Soviets beat the US team 10-3 which is a HUGE ass kicking in hockey where most scores are in the 2-3 type of range.

2008 World Series.

With my homer hat off, the Miracle On Ice or possibly the 2006 World Cup. Italy-Germany and Italy-France were two matches I'll never forget.

That was pretty cool to watch. Both the men's and the women's were close.
