Michael Phelps winning 8 gold medals
or
Usain Bolt breaking the world record and becoming the fastest man in the world
I'm making a list of the top 5 sports moments of 2008 and cant decide who should be 1 and 2
Answer
definitely, Micheal Phelps winning 8 gold medals was the biggest sporting moment in the 2008 Olympic Games . add to the fact, that he did it in style where he swam in world record times in 7 of those.
as for Usain Bolt, I agree that he did broke 3 world records in the Games including the 100M dash. but these world records he set in the Games will be forgotten once these records will be broken again outside of the Games.
in the Olympic Games, the number of gold medals won will be remembered more than setting the world record.
my top 5:
1.) Michael Phelps 8 gold medal-romp in swimming
2.) Usain Bolt's "Greatest 100M performance in the history of the event"
3.) Japan ending the long-time Olympic dominance of US in softball
4.) South Korea's stunning upset over Cuba in baseball.
5.) Australia's Matthew Mitcham preventing a Chinese sweep in diving by winning the men's 10M platform on his last dive.

1980's Biggest moment in sports history?

whats the #1 biggest moment in sports history of the 1980's?
Answer
Well the USA beating USSR in ice hockey at the 1980 winter Olympics was biggest moment for me as well.
Another one would be Fiesta Bowl game Jan 2,1987 between #2 Penn State VS #1 Miami-Florida in which Penn State won 14-10. Miami led by Heisman trophy winner Vinny Testaverde came into the game undefeated, ranked #1 since week 4 of season and outscored their opponents 420-136. Penn Sate was also undefeated, but where the underdogs because they didn't play as dominate in their regular season games and majority of their opponents had record under .500.
Jimmy Johnson was Miami head coach versus the college legend Joe Paterno
This still remains the highest rated college football game with a nielsen rating 24.9. Also some great pregame drama as Miami lived up to their bad boy image by wearing combat fatigues to the pregame steak dinner wearing combat fatigues while Penn State players wore suites and ties.
What made this game so big was it was a rare college bowl game that truly would crown an undisputed national champion and was only the 7th time a #1 versus #2 would play in a bowl game.
