How this woman, who was undefeated in World Cup downhill races for two years is neither a National Treasure or a household name is beyond me. Consistently the best that there is, consistently producing perfection.

Of all the superb moments on this thread, this is it for me as well. Absolutely amazing spell of cricket between players at the top of their game in the heat of competition. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Atherton was immense.
Really surprised no one has mentioned these two worldies yet.

Last few seconds of the game, a one-goal game, the worst and the best sides of ice hockey.

Give the game clock and the importance of the game and still talked about today
And I'm not even into betting on horses. But Frankel was breathtaking perfection.
Loved that moment so much. I like Holland, but it also dumped the cheating Simeone, spitting Ortega and wan*er Batistuta out of the WC.
Had the pleasure of seeing him win the 'Duel on the downs' against Canford Cliffs in the Sussex and then again the following year when he was odds of 1/20. I doubt I'll ever be lucky to see a horse like him again.
Lucky. Did the pace of Frankel stand out as like nothing you'd seen before?
With those odds, in essense did that mean that not a sole put money on the horse?

What made Donald so hostile in this sequence?
I mean obviously he's trying to get Atherton out, but I don't think I've ever seen a cricketer play with such raw hatred for an opponent. Or was he always like that?

I was watching this laying on my bed.
When Akabusi went past Pettigrew I jumped into the air so high that when I landed I broke my bed
Just amazing to watch again, the World Champion v the bronze medalist in the 400m hurdles. And the world champion had a 3m head start with!
How the hell did he do it?

He was amazing, but his 2000 Guineas win was the one which sticks in my mind.
It was so completely unexpected that a horse could manage a performance like that in a classic race.
They were strung out over Suffolk like 4m chasers running on heavy ground, not the cream of a classic generation.
I do wish they'd call JPR Williams JPR Williams, rather than John. Bloody confusing.
He lost.
And went on to win the series (which was not a common occurrence back then).Atherton remained unbeaten on 98 and England won by 8 wickets.
