Greatest sports achievements ever
What are the greatest achievements is sports history? This can be team or individual.
I will leadoff with a couple.
1980 Miracle on Ice. This has to be near the top of all lists. An amateur US hockey team beating the USSR and going on to win the gold.
1969 Mets, out of nowhere they come to win the World Series
Bob Beamon 29 foot leap in the 1968 Olympics.
