Greatest sporting achievment of all time?

[Rulke]

Watching Watson as he approached the 18th hole at the open and the commentators saying "If he wins this, it will be the greatest sporting achievement of all time"

What do you reckon? For me, an old guy with a bad hip whacking a ball around a field isn't particularly impressive but what would you cite as being better?

For me it has to be this:

YouTube - Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan fastest 147

 

[old.Tohtori]

There is no "greatest sporting achievement", unless someone beats everyone in every sport that is.

That may be great for snooker, but regarding swimming, it's moot.

Then again, commentators just use that kind of lingo and it doesn't mean that things are.

 

[Rulke]

I'll rephrase for the compulsively contrary

What in your opinion is the greatest sporting achievement?

 

[Madmaxx]

Too many for me to narrow it down but I'll always remember this

YouTube - Trevor Sinclair Goal

I guess you took it as "your example is crap", which is was not meant as.

Commented on the commentary, which you yourself didn't agree on, and stated that i don't think there is one as it's subjectional to the sport in question.

Not argumentative, my opinion. Thank you.

Toh, it's a sensible fucking request, without the need to pick apart the subject title. If you have not got one the answer is don't post.

I would go back before I even existed and say what Jesse Owens did was superb. Considering he couldn't even eat in the same restaurant as white people back in America and was given no real acknowledgement by the countries government until it was deemed it would not hurt it's parties chances of election.

More recently, Usain Bolt - How anyone can run that fast is just insane.

As must as it hurts a little to say it Arsenal going unbeaten for the whole season was an epic achievement. They played superb football along the way, and considering the quality of other teams that they faced no a week to week basis it is something that I can't see happening for many years to come.

Oops also that 147 was ajoy to watch, Ronnie is amazing to watch when he's on his 'A' game.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Toh, it's a sensible fucking request, without the need to pick apart the subject title. If you have not got one the answer is don't post.

Then don't ask for a f*cking opinion.

Watching Watson as he approached the 18th hole at the open and the commentators saying "If he wins this, it will be the greatest sporting achievement of all time"

What do you reckon?

Is not the title either.

So, f*ckity, offity.

Given my opinion on the subject, that is all. Don't like the answer? Go cry a river.

Same bull as people posting "I like this! Don't you? It's great!" and then get sh*t for saying "No, i don't." when asked.

 

[Rulke]

Are you trying to dispute the contrary statement? Lol


Dunno why I took you off ignore, back you go

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'm disputing nothing for f*cks sake...

And if anyone out there can say what the F*CK i did now, would be appreciated.

Oh now i know, i should've just been a good little boy and say "Oh i think the gweatest ever was when that guy did that thing!", without actually giving my own opinion.

Yeah, guess what, not your b*tch.

 

[TdC]

chill the hell out Toh, jeez. someone piss in your coffee this morning? :touch:


and speaking of mornings I would like to submit the greatest sporting achievment of all time is me actually managing to get out of bed today. soz, that's it, I'm not that big on sports.

 

[Corran]

Eric Cantona drop kicking a racist twat...

 

[CorNokZ]

stop arguing

This will always be remembered:

YouTube - FCK - Brøndby 2-0 Sibusiso Zuma

 

[tris-]

Lu Yong who got a 214kg clean and jerk at 84kg in the last olympics.

YouTube - LU Yong CHN 84.41

goto 8 minute mark.

 

[Litmus]

YouTube - manchester united -champions league final 1999

Ronnies 147 was quite impresive too tbh. And as for the Golf commentator saying that will be the greatest sporting achivement if he pots that ball, LOL... Golf is the most boring shit sport ever, is it even a sport?

 

[Wonk]

stop arguing

This will always be remembered:

YouTube - FCK - Brøndby 2-0 Sibusiso Zuma

:worthy::worthy::worthy:
This has to be it - the kick that won us the title. God, I still remember that day like it was yesterday.

 

[CorNokZ]

Seeing that Litmus reminded me of Denmark becoming european champions in '92.. Can't find a video of it, but I still remember it clearly to this day eventho I was only 4 at the time

I wish youd fuck off again to write a book, have a shave, etc etc

When Man Utd beat Bayern in 99 I think that's gotta be in the top 5, or even number 1. That Bayern side was such a hard team to beat so I always enjoyed watching them in the Champions League.

Seriously, STFU you stupid idiot. Do you have problems that make you need to argue with everyone? He asked a question, which was interesting, now if your not guna give him you opion GTFO.

And Imo either England geting to the RWCF in 2007, cus they were utter shit before that, or Man U beating bayern in that epic game in 99

 

[old.Tohtori]

I did.

Thinking there is no greatest sport achievement IS an opinion.

"Which fruit do you like?"
"I don't really like fruit."

That's an opinion, not arguing.

Don't know how that was read as an argument starter.

 

[CorNokZ]

It was bait for the argument you're having right now

GTFO

 

[Zita]

I did.

Lol its not even just this thread. You do it in pretty much EVERY thread, unless its your own.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yes, that answered it. Very helpful.

Glad you've joined the bandwagon.

 

[CorNokZ]

Haven't you realised it's not a bandwagon? Pretty much everyone here on FHOT thinks you're are complete retard?

 

[Thorwyn]

Fischer beating Spasski in 1972 is a pretty strong contender in my opinion (considering the political circumstances etc.)

 

[Zita]

Yes, that answered it. Very helpful.

Glad you've joined the bandwagon.

STFU, GTFO. next
And back on topid - Ye Husain Bolt's 100M sprint has got to be in the top 5 - how someone can run that fast is amazing.

 

[Zenith.UK]

Three that come to mind...

Mansell winning the 1991 British GP.
YouTube - F1 - Mansell & Senna

Jonny Wilkinson's drop kick that secured an England win in the 2003 Rugby World Cup.
YouTube - Johnny Wilkinson drop kick

Daley Thompson winning the 1984 Olympic Decathlon.
YouTube - 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games - Daley Thompson's Decathlon


I'd have to say Daley Thompson because it wasn't just one sport or event. He was really good at all the Decathlon sports and it all just came together for him in Los Angeles.

Lance Armstrong's performances in the Tour de France after coming back from cancer have got to be up there for me

 

[Madmaxx]

bah im to young (20) to know some epic moments of the past. But:

I think that Manu and Bayern match
Liverpool comeback at the final of Champions League 2005
And lance armstrong coming back to win the tour de france after cancer.

Oh and michael phelps was pretty god like winning 8 gold medals.

 

[old.Tohtori]

After having a very constructive discussion with Calaen, realized the issue. Thanks go there.

A sporting event that i liked, from what i can remember on a limited sporting "liking" is most likely the 1995 hockey world thingy when finland brought home the gold.

That's more because of the nationwide celebration then anything.
