Top Inspirational OLYMPIC Moments?

Question

What to you were the most inspirational olympic moments?

Now I'm not a sentimental person, but there's something about inspirational sports events that bring on the water works. I was just curious.

Answer 1

USA Men's Gymnastics, they inspired me so much. The fact that people may have doubts in you, but you can overcome any obstacle that God throws at you. As long as you keep faith in him.

Answer 2

Eric Liddell 1924. Dropped out of his best even 100m because it was on a Sunday, ran and unexpectedly won the 400m. ( not that I was alive, but come on.....Chariots of Fire)  

Answer 3

When the athletes at the Torino Olympics said they were there just to have fun and that followed with the Torino end credits!
