These days, you must be a retard if you don’t like or follow sports. Sports is a religion in itself which attracts everyone from young to old, from poor to rich, from straight ones to homosexuals(oops!).
The best example was the recently concluded London Olympics. Sports linked to the national pride can be such a deadly combination. Sports can push your body to extremity (Decathlon), or test your skills down to a millisecond (sprint/gymnastics/diving) or your stamina (marathon). Two things which make sports what they are today are uncertainty and moments of high. Moments of high linked to uncertainly though, are those moments when an athelete accomplishes something incredible and rare feat which gives him the ultimate thrill. Remember, it's not just luck but the will and ability of the sportsman too which create these moments
Below, I have listed top 10 moments of sporting high in descending order. This is just my interpretation.
1. 4X100 mt Relay: You get the baton last and you run like a dream to overtake all the opponents to cross the finish line first
2. Boxing: Your first blow knocks the opponent down
3. Archery: When you hit the bull's eye
4. Golf: Hole-in-one
5. Kabaddi: When you get all the 7 out at once
6. Gymnastics: A perfect 10
7. Football(Soccer): When you dribble the ball through defenders and hit a goal
8. Tennis: A tweener winner(between the legs shot) on a match point
9. Cricket: 1 ball 6 runs needed. You step out of the crease and loft the ball out of the stadium for a six
10. Basketball: A 3 pointer in the last minute
