I’m surprised I'm the first person to mention skateboarding? It is curious because I wanted to include some of them on "Breakthrough" but as they had less than 18 years I had to somehow nudge them all on the youth!

[Josh 10,489]

Here are my sporting moment of the year choices. 

 

#1:  win over United States in women’s waterpolo at the World Aquatics Championships

#2:  Femke Bol rebounding from a late race fall in the mixed 4x400m to win gold in the women’s 4x400m at the World Athletics Championships! 

#3:  Adriana Diaz and  Bruna Takahashi’s embrace after the gold medal match in women’s singles table tennis at the Pan American Games

#4:  Canada booking their ticket to the Olympics in men’s basketball at the FIBA World Cup for the first time since 2000

#5:  Novak Djokovic winning three grand slam titles this year, while extending his overall total to 24, winning the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and US Open. 
#6:  Connor Bedard and  Trevor Zegras scoring Michigan goals on the same day (December 23)
#7:  Miltiadis Tentoglou winning gold in men’s long jump at the World Athletics Championships with his round six attempt. 

 

But also, Canada qualifying for Paris in men’s volleyball, which marks their third consecutive appearance. Really impressive considering we’ve never really been near the top of the World Rankings.

 

@vinipereira it’s so hard to choose athletes/moments in some categories. Is it possible if my #7 vote can count?
