These are my top 10 Sporting Moments: (in no particular order)

10. Usain Bolt winning the 100m and 200m sprints in his 1st Olympic Games along with the four by 100m relay for Jamaica; with ease as he began celebrating before the line. After this in many interviews he has been asked why he didn't sprint all the way in to the line, he replied. "I didn't want to run to fast as it would take me a long time to beat them again"

9. Michael Phelps winning 8 Golds in the 2008 Olympic games; my favourite of these wins was the 100m butterfly where he beat Ian Crocker by just millimetres at the line.

8. Recently I went to watch the iRB World Sevens at Twickenham where Kenya, ranked 40th in the world won the bowl competition beating Scotland, USA and Canada who are ranked 10th, 19th and 13th respectivly. There was also a huge crowd supporting Kenya in the South stand.

7. Has to be Johnny Wilkinson's famous drop goal at the 2003 Rugby World Cup to beat Australia.

6. As I quite like athletics as great moment for me was all the way back in 1954 when Roger Bannister was the 1st man to run the 4 minute mile.

5. In the 2000 Olympic games a member of the USA basketball team, Vince Carter dunked and clearly jumper "over" the 7ft 2 Frenchman, Frederic Weis. The USA then went on to win the gold that year.

4. One funny moment, which I have only seen in videos, was Rene Higuita's so called scorpion kick against England in 1995 in a friendly. This is done by jumping up, arching is legs up over his body and clearing the ball away from the goal. He became notorious for taking unnecessary risks in many games, sometimes allowing easy goals in.

3. At the X-Games 12 during the moto-x event Travis Pastrana pulled off the worlds first double backflip which one him a gold in the competition in 2006.

And to finish off with two from my favourite sport. . .

2. In the 2008 NBA dunk contest Dwight Howard famously dressed up as superman and produced a 50/50 rated dunk time after time; leaving all the other competitors way behind.

1. Finally, in 1962 Wilt Chamberlain was the 1st and only man ever to score over 100 points in a regular season game. Which was described by the NBA as one the of the best games ever. He also broke 5 scoring records in his career, four of which still stand.
