7 unbelievable moments in sports history

Since the first Olympics or the running of the first marathon, there have been unbelievable moments on the fields of sport. Nowhere else is the whole spectrum of human emotion presented so purely.

People devote their lives to sport. Playing, watching, officiating. Some may dismiss sports as “just a game,” but to many of us, they are are so much more; a link between families, communities, and cultures, and a place where anything can happen.
