I didn't include the winter games but should have. How about a best and worst: 1994 in Lillehammer, women's figure skating. The awful Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan mess, Tonya melts down after a broken shoelace, then Oksana Baiul wipes them both off the ice. Or anything involving Torvill and Dean.

The Jamaican Bobsled team I can't endorse this one. They were a joke, in my view in the same category and Eddie the Eel. the "Fosbury Flop" I seriously considered this one. I was a high jumper in junior high school and remember how much I improved when I learned the flop. It revolutionized that event. I personally had to brake all sorts of records dashing, rusing and jumping through crowds and barriers -with girlfriend in tow (literarily pulling her by the arm for the entire run)- i doubt she ever appreciated such effort on my side Haw! And I notice you don't refer to her as your "future wife".
