Missed the Usein Bolt 100m Record Breaking Sprint in Olympics? Or the most amazing shot ever played by Tiger Woods? Michael Johnson's Classic 200m Sprint in Olympics 1996?
To be true, of the five videos featured here, I only witnessed the Usein Bolt sprint. Of the other four, I just kept hearing and reading about praises. I always wanted to see the actual videos of the famous performances, but as you know, the Sports Channels either would not show them, or will show them at a time when I am not in front of the television.
I believe the case is same for a lot of you readers too, but luckily there is a site, SportsVids, where you can get all the famous sports videos in one single place. You will no longer have to search in Google or YouTube, looking for the original online sports videos among thousands of irrelevant others.
Okay, time for some cool videos. Below I feature my favourite five performances of all times. Although one can argue about the performances' "all time favourite" status, but these are just my personal choices.
1. The most amazing shot you would ever see in golf: Tiger Woods
You won't believe your eyes! An incredible curved shot from quite a distance on the green. Notice the cartoo-like momentary stop of the ball just before it falls into the hole.
2. The record breaking 100m sprint in Olympics 2008: Usein Bolt
There has been many record breakers in sprint. But the world had never seen an athlete win the 100m sprints with so ease, keeping that distant from the closest contender. The record for the first time fell below 9.7 seconds, and had Usein not slowed down in the last 20m, the record would be even better.
3. Record breaking 200m sprint in Olympics 1996: Michael Johnson
This is one of the records that stayed unbroken for the lengthiest time. Although the super Usein broke it this year, the record was said to be "Unbreakable" by many people.
4. 400m medley in Olympics 2008: Michael Phelps
Just an event to claim one more gold towards his journey to 8 golds. Just an event? I don't think so. The medley is a combination of four different swimming styles, and one has to be good in all to win it. A taste of Phelp's overall skill is what you will get in the video.
5. Buzzer buster performances: Michael Jordan
Well this video is a little alleviated from the other four sports clips. In this case, it is not one performance, but a compilation of many. Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the best BasketBall player of all times, and this is a compilation of some special performances of his; scoring just before the buzzer.
