Every now and again you have those defining moments in the world that becomes awe-inspiring, memorize to the minds forever long.
In the concept of sport, there are those rare few that get pushed to the front of everyone’s mind. Therefore, here are a few of mine.
Steven Gerrard’s equaliser against West Ham in 2006 in the FA Cup final.
Johnny Wilkinson’s drop goal against Australia in 2003.
Michael Phelps 7th Gold at Beijing as he won by a hair thread in the 100-metre Butterfly.
Leroy Lita’s smashing the ball passed Middlesbrough to claim Reading’s first win in the Premiership.
Kevin Pietersen’s 158 not out at the last test of the Ashes in 2005.
Without a doubt there will be many more added as I still am at a young tender age.
Another one to be added will be Usain Bolt securing the Olympic gold medal with such arrogance and dominance it was almost uncanny. Setting a new world record at a breeze of 9.69 it was remarkable and certainly, ten seconds I would never forget.
The legend of Michael Johnson even claimed that was the ‘best 100m performance he has ever seen.’ Enough said, my words seem rather pointless but Bolt was amazing and at only 21 years, he has yet to reach his peak. He will probably beat that record repeatedly.
I am so pleased to have witnessed it repeatedly and that is definitely one of my sporting legacies of certainly my generation.
He banged his chest as he ran passed the finishing line metres in front of anyone else. In a race where margins are anything, he made a huge monastery out of the field.
The 100-metre males sprint the pinnacle moment of any Olympics and Bolt will be placed in world folk law for many years to come.
