What Was The Greatest Sports Feat Ever Accomplished? by hambyepger: 3:40pm On Apr 09, 2012 |
There are many great moments in sports, but very few of them happened more than once. Wilt never scored another 100 points, no one hits 70+ HR a year for several years, very few teams dominate a decade with championships, there are too many variables that have to be controlled for them to happen. This is why I think that Lance Armstrong has accomplished the greatest feat(s) in sports. He was a dominate rider( youngest world champion, TDF stage winner,) before over coming terminal cancer to win the TDF (tour de france) SEVEN times in a row. The TDF is the most physical, emotional, and mental challenge in sports. Cycling has so many variables to it, its nearly impossible to control them.

Answer: Not a enough....Period. Lance Armstrong has accomplished the greatest feat(s) in sports, he has raised the bar for all that follow; to become a social icon for a cause and the most dominate sportsman in 10 year period. No one else holds a candle to this!! |
