Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps is pictured here on August 16, 2008, at the Beijing Olympics where he managed to stretch further than Milorad Cavic of Serbia by out-touching him by an immeasurable 0.01 seconds as the final of the 100-meter butterfly came to a heart-racing finish. Phelps nabbed his seventh gold medal with this win, an Olympian performance that would end with his unprecedented 8 gold medal basket. Few swimmers will ever be able to match even a fraction of this winning streak.

David Tyree and Rodney Harrison
February 3, 2008, at the Super Bowl XLII. David Tyree, the receiver for the New York Giants, snatches a catch using his helmet for balance while Rodney Harrison does his best to slam the precarious receiver to the ground. The New York Giants might not have been able to dethrone the Patriots without this valiant catch, where Tyree held onto the pigskin like it was his baby, securing a 17-14 win for the New York Giants.
