You can add Max Parrot to this list. He had cancer but survived and won a gold medal in the men’s snowboard slope style in Beijing!

y’all have a way with minimizing injuries. kerri completely tore two ligaments. one partially torn ligament is considered a career ending injury. surgery is required to fix fully torn ligaments

[laurapinilla]

I'm sorry but the whole situation about Kerri Strug was NOT a Disney fairytale ending... Was the beginning of a nightmare in USA gymnastics

[connorohalloran]

Glad that Steven Bradbury was on the list because the story was emotional and he was one of the 1st Aussies to ever win a Winter Olympic gold medal.
People don't think much of Australia and winter sport.
No criticizing but i feel like only Pomes and Australians can say Aussie right

Very very proud of Nancy Kerrigan 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️

[zhafranaslam]

I love the gymnastic moment, im so touched about it, nice..

Like the phoenix, they rise up from the ashes.

Number 1 should be when the Canadian women's hockey team won gold in 2014 Sochi Olympics after seconds left on the clock

[airdjgunz]

This was inspiring shout-outs to everyone who chased a dream

[LilySayyy]

The Australian speed skater has got to be on this list!!! Best gold medal ever!!

[gamerkingdom]

This is amongst my favorite Olympic moments. To look impossible in the face and say “NOT TODAY”!! Mad respect...

[HopeWren]

Whilst I admit that Nancy Kerrigans comeback was impressive, I've never been able to forget her bad/unsportsmanlike attitude when her and the other medalist were waiting for Oskana who won the gold.

How could you completely ignore the us men's swimming relay that came back to beat France in 2008? That was the most exciting swimming race my wife and I have ever watched, and alongside the 96 gymnastics performance, probably the most memorable Olympic event I've seen

[AndersonTenecela]

Number 1 takes me back when I first saw the film Miracle from Disney as a kid 😊😌

[omfug]

Lindsey Jacobellis who lost the snowcross gold in 2006 when she decided to showboat near the finish line, she just won gold yesterday

[frankmoniz]

This top 10 got the waterworks going. :)

[Kantsiimuistaa]

ever heard of Lasse Viren, man fell down and still won the 10 000 meter race & broke the Olympic record

[ffpunk]

Damn Kerri strut must’ve been in so much pain

[maytalacedo]

The girl with a broken angle and went for the gyminist bar and won. That's a badass.
