That was pretty amazing. I wish I had some clips of these, but I'll list some of my favorite plays:

Canadiens goalie Jose Theodore making catching the puck behind his back

Derek Jeter backhanded shovel pass to Jorge Posada

Derek Jeter flying into the stand

Derek Jeter climbing up over Robinson Cano

College baseball game where the kid makes a catch falling over the right field foul wall.

Ball bouncing off of Jose Canseco's head for a home run.

Minor league player running through outfield wall (we've seen this a million times)

If anyone has decent quality clips of these, I'd appreciate it.

dont have the link to the video, but that kid who threw a 3 pointer to win the game from his own D with about 0.5 seconds to go in a HS game.

I dunno if anyone else saw the video, but the thing that got me was the kid knew it was gonna hit before it reached the basket. After he threw it he stood there for a second, and then when it was about 20 feet away from the basket he started screaming with disbelief cos he KNEW it was in. He was off balance and in his own D when he launched it, and it just hit nothing but net.

My other fave was Coach Cheeks and the anthem. I will have to find a link to the video. Basically this 11 year old girl was singing the national anthem at the game, and she lost it, forgot the words. She tried to start again and couldnt find the words, and the crowd started to jeer, you could see she was just about to completely break down, and she had tears in her eyes, when out of nowhere Coach Cheeks races up, puts her arm round her, and starts feeding her the words and singing with her. She found her voice, and by the end the whole stadium was on its feet singing with her and she got a huge round of applause at the end.

With all the people around her, everyone just stood there watching her suffer and feeling terrible for her, and it was the coach, with so much on his mind and so many other things to worry about, who had the heart to race to her rescue, simply because he couldnt stand to see her pain and he did something about it. It was a beautiful momenbt, and if I was American Im sure I'd find it very patriotic. And for whats it worth, she had a beautiful voice.

I'm not going to watch that because I know I'm going to cry.

spongy · 10-02-2005, 01:22 PM

Speaking of crying, I remember an Olympic 400 meter final.. I think it was in Barcelona, where someone blew his hamstring, tried to get up, fell.... refused help, clearly just wanting to finsh the race on his own.. when someone comes from the stands... it his dad, and arm around his son, supprting him, they finish to rousing applause. I can't even TELL that story without getting misty. I have the bacis details right, forgive any errors in fact, and I will try to find that footage.

Derek Redmond.

Strange Famous · 10-03-2005, 12:22 PM

I remember watching the Redmond thing and tearing up. Dont have a video, but here is what the espn website had on it in their 100 best moments of the last 25 years

Quote:

Rick Weinberg
Special to ESPN.com

Unlike Carl Lewis and Daley Thompson, Derek Redmond is not a name that conjures up memories of Olympic gold medals. But it is Redmond who defines the essence of the human spirit.

Redmond arrived at the 1992 Olympic Summer Games in Barcelona determined to win a medal in the 400. The color of the medal was meaningless; he just wanted to win one. Just one.

He had been forced to withdraw from the 400 at the 1988 Games in Seoul, only 10 minutes before the race, because of an Achilles tendon injury. He then underwent five surgeries over the next year. This was the same runner who had shattered the British 400-meter record at age 19. So when the 1992 Games arrived, this was his time, his moment, his stage, to show the world how good he was and who he was.

Derek's father Jim had accompanied him to Barcelona, just as he did for all world competitions. They were as close as a father and son could be. Inseparable, really. The best of friends. When Derek ran, it was as if his father were running right next to him.

THE MOMENT
The day of the race arrives. Father and son reminisce about what it took for Derek to get to this point. They talk about ignoring past heartbreaks, past failures. They agree that if anything bad happens, no matter what it is, Derek has to finish the race, period.

The top four finishers in each of the two semifinal heats qualify for the Olympic final. As race time approaches for the semifinal 400 heat, Jim heads up to his seat at the top of Olympic Stadium, not far from where the Olympic torch was lit just a few days earlier. He is wearing a T-shirt that reads, "Have you hugged your foot today?"

With the help of his father, an injured Derek Redmond completed his race in the 1992 Olympics.

The stadium is packed with 65,000 fans, bracing themselves for one of sport's greatest and most exciting spectacles. The race begins and Redmond breaks from the pack and quickly seizes the lead. "Keep it up, keep it up," Jim says to himself.

Down the backstretch, only 175 meters away from finishing, Redmond is a shoo-in to make the finals. Suddenly, he hears a pop. In his right hamstring. He pulls up lame, as if he had been shot.

"Oh, no," Jim says to himself. His face pales. His leg quivering, Redmond begins hopping on one leg, then slows down and falls to the track. As he lays on the track, clutching his right hamstring, a medical personnel unit runs toward him. At the same time, Jim Redmond, seeing his son in trouble, races down from the top row of the stands, sidestepping people, bumping into others. He has no credential to be on the track, but all he thinks about is getting to his son, to help him up. "I wasn't going to be stopped by anyone," he later tells the media.

On the track, Redmond realizes his dream of an Olympic medal is gone. Tears run down his face. "All I could think was, 'I'm out of the Olympics -- again,'" he would say.

As the medical crew arrives with a stretcher, Redmond tells them, "No, there's no way I'm getting on that stretcher. I'm going to finish my race."

Then, in a moment that will live forever in the minds of millions, Redmond lifts himself to his feet, ever so slowly, and starts hobbling down the track. The other runners have finished the race, with Steve Lewis of the U.S. winning the contest in 44.50. Suddenly, everyone realizes that Redmond isn't dropping out of the race by hobbling off to the side of the track. No, he is actually continuing on one leg. He's going to attempt to hobble his way to the finish line. All by himself. All in the name of pride and heart.

Slowly, the crowd, in total disbelief, rises and begins to roar. The roar gets louder and louder. Through the searing pain, Redmond hears the cheers, but "I wasn't doing it for the crowd," he would later say. "I was doing it for me. Whether people thought I was an idiot or a hero, I wanted to finish the race. I'm the one who has to live with it."

One painful step at a time, each one a little slower and more painful than the one before, his face twisted with pain and tears, Redmond limps onward, and the crowd, many in tears, cheer him on.

Suddenly, Jim Redmond finally gets to the bottom of the stands, leaps over the railing, avoids a security guard, and runs out to his son, with two security people chasing after him. "That's my son out there," he yells back to security, "and I'm going to help him."

Finally, with Derek refusing to surrender and painfully limping along the track, Jim reaches his son at the final curve, about 120 meters from the finish, and wraps his arm around his waist.

"I'm here, son," Jim says softly, hugging his boy. "We'll finish together." Derek puts his arms around his father's shoulders and sobs.

Together, arm in arm, father and son, with 65,000 people cheering, clapping and crying, finish the race, just as they vowed they would. A couple steps from the finish line, and with the crowd in an absolute frenzy, Jim releases the grip he has on his son, so Derek could cross the finish line by himself. Then he throws his arms around Derek again, both crying, along with everyone in the stands and on TV.

"I'm the proudest father alive," he tells the press afterwards, tears in his eyes. "I'm prouder of him than I would have been if he had won the gold medal. It took a lot of guts for him to do what he did."

Ahambone · 11-05-2005, 04:32 AM

I had heard about Mo Cheeks coming to that girl's aid when she sang the national anthem, but I had never seen the clip.

...WOW.

That would make the toughest of the tough tear up; I know I did.

The best part was that, not only was Cheeks helping her through the song, but when the camera cut to Nick Van Exel & Don Nelson, they too are singing the song...and if you listen, you can hear the ENTIRE CROWD singing along too.

What a great moment.

MikeyChalupa · 11-28-2005, 08:11 PM

Last Saturday night, Marek Malik's shootout goal vs. Olaf Kolzig in the 15th round finished the longest shootout in NHL history (so far). What made it even more special was that Malik is a defenseman who is not known for scoring. In fact, he hadn't scored a goal all season. And, he scored on a between the legs trick shot. Here's the goal:

according to www.runningmovies.com...

NBC filmed the games in 1992, then Bud Greenspan and Cappy Productions, Inc. spent their time delivering them in this 1993 release which was worth the wait. Lee Holdridge provides the music and Nick Michaels narrates this 132 minute film. The track athletes include Derek Redmond who tore a hamstring in the semi-final of the men's 400m race, but finished with the assistance of his father; 10,000 meter runner Khalid Skah who won a gold medal, was disqualified and then reinstated; and Evelyn Ashford who at 35 was the oldest sprinter. Includes footage of the opening and closing ceremonies and previous Olympic Games. This tape has not been released to the public and there is no current source for the tape. You can read more about Derek Redmond at his web site Derek Redmond.com and to see his race I recommend obtaining The Olympiad Series: The Persistent Ones. Lastly, Bill Mallon wrote a review outlining each of the ten stories and it can be read in Adobe Acrobat format (see pages 4 and 5) from the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles Library, the only library that maintaines a copy of this tape (they do not loan their collection, although you can view it there).
