What's the single most impressive athletic achievement you've ever seen? It can be any sport on any skill level.

Mine has to be that kid who threw a full court shot with less than a second left from one end of the court to the other to win a b-ball game. He just launched it overhand and they won. It was on sportscenter last week. Amazing. There's no way the kid will ever top that. If I had made the shot I would quit sports. There's nothing beyond that.

Don Beebe of the Buffalo Bills while on special teams completely levelling the Jets' kick returner. I was sitting in the endzone bleachers and you could actually hear the hit. He stopped this guy dead in his track, lifted him up off the ground and drove him into the turf. Even though Beebe was on the opposing team....they cheered the hit.

in 01 Tra "trauma" Telligman beat Igor Vovchanchin at Pride. Igor is a sambo, vale-tudo, and kickboxer guy from Russia and a total hard-ass. Igor was the first in history to unify 5 belts. Telligman won. why is this amazing? he has only one pectoral muscle, thays why. he had to have the other removed. (cancer i think).

Curt Schilling and the bloody sock.

That and a couple of things I saw Terje Haakonsen(sp?) do in the halfpipe at Mt. Hood.

Edited because Schill was just a part of the best team effort I've ever witnessed, The Red Sox coming back from an 0-3 deficit that is.

LA Kings vs. Calgary Flames, 1993 playoffs. Gretzky fires a bullet from less than 20 feet from the goal. The Flames goalie snaps his stick down to easily send the puck flying back and upwards away, still moving like a flash... and right into the middle of the face of a Flames defenseman. His nose a'splodes and as everyone is looking at him clutching his broken nose, the puck weakly bounces away, and right into the goal! We were jumping up and down howling with joy after that one. biggrin

Yeah, I'm a homer, but I used to say this one:

(Desmond Howard lays out completely on 4-1 from the 25 to beat Notre Dame)

Before I saw this one:

This was the most amazing interception of all time. Michigan is absolutely laying the wood to MSU in 97. That year they had one of the best defenses in college football history. Under tremendous pressure in the pocket, the MSU QB decides to just throw it away, chucking it 15 feet in the air towards the sideline. Unfortunately, he threw it in eventual Heisman winner Charles Woodson's direction. He came off his man, jumped up, picked the ball off with one hand at the apex of it's flight and still managed to reach his foot BACK towards the field of play as he's going out of bounds to complete the interception.

They still show it on "Great Plays in College Football History" all the time and every time I am blown away by it.

As a Giants fan who is constantly tortured by the A's fans that I grew up with, this is one of my favorite things to torment them with. It makes me giggle every time I see it. biggrin biggrin

Steve Youngblood puts all other athletes to shame.

"Thirteen years, I've been the world's premiere outer fringe athlete, dominating the world of non-traditional high risk sports. I'm a national shark-rodeo champion, although I am currently suspended for my refusal to wear the cowardly chain-mail suit... My travels have taken me to South America, where I competed in Brazillian train surfing, riding on the surface of moving trains while dodging oncoming cables. Tragically, of the twelve young Brazillians I began surfing with, only two were still alive at the end of the season. However, I was awarded the priviledge of wearing the Red Bandana, which no non-Brazillian had previously worn. Viva Los Estados Unidos!"

Dude... I'd watch what you say. Steve Youngblood is totally going to kick your ass.

"Kicking ass is so much more than just annhilating another human being... it's a way of life, a rejection of mediocrity, A WILD EYED, PASSIONATE EMBRACING OF FEAR!"

The Ironman Triathlon.

Watching those guys (and girls) swim 2 miles, bike another 100, and run a marathon (26 fucking miles) in like 9 hours, that's the most incredible thing I've seen a human do.

I have to agree with this one... and for the non-american folks out there who don't care for US football, I know the pads make our players pussies compared to ruggers, (or so ruggers say) but they also make an act of grace like this even more difficult. This play should not have been humanly possible.
