What is your top 3 most notoriously remembered/favorite Summer Olympic Sports Memories

[Mr. Friscus]

This, of course, is based on your age, but it's interesting to here from all generations.. and to see what resonated more with who when there's a crossover.

Here's my most notorious/favorite moments that I've witnessed

1. 2008 4x100 Swimming: Jason Lezak (USA) leads a 4th leg comeback from half a body length down to overtake elite Frenchman Alain Bernard to win gold for the team, assisting Michael Phelps' hopes at 7 gold medals.
2. 1996 Gymnastics: Kerri Strug (USA) Plants a vault landing on a clearly injured ankle to heavily elevate the gymnastics team to their first team gold medal.
3. 2008 100m Dash: Phenom Usaine Bolt (JAM) runs 9.69 sec to set the WR and win Gold.
