Josh 7,850 Posted December 26, 2023 #143 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I know we’re at the second stage of voting, but I can’t believe all of us forgot about Niklas Edin’s spinner against Norway at the Men’s Curling World Championships. That beats out all my other sporting moment nominees for sure. intoronto and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the sports that most of us watch, the memories that we share. Even if a moment in a smaller sport was exciting for me, as a community these big moments on swimming, athletics, tennis, etc. unite us. That said, my personal sport moment of the year (MvdP road cycling world championship) isn't nominated. But in the end nothing beats watching that incredible race together with my dad, just like when I was young.

That's a matter of opinion of course. As someone who is neither Italian nor a big follower of tennis, I very much find it understandable given the historic value of it. Much more so than for example one of gazillion swimming relays, but that's the thing: other people might value that one more, and that's fine too If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I even decided to wake Bruna up from her post-training nap because I felt this was such a historic moment, she really shouldn't miss it It is fun to see everyone's opinions though. Plenty of people won't even know this happened, while someone else's sports moments (like the Edin one mentioned) may make me go "Huh?" in return maestro and Josh 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
