In this week's Sport magazine (a free sporting newspaper/magazine that is given away in London) there was an interview with Roger Federer which made me think. I am not normally that interested in tennis, but I was thinking, why is it that I remember moments of individual sporting excellence so well. Its a bit like when people say you always remember when you heard that JFK/Diana/Lennon etc was killed (I only remember one of those by the way..), I seem to remember these moments of individual sporting skills, Roberto Carlos' curling free kick in '98, Zidane's best goal, Usain Bolt's records, Dennis Bergkamp's '98 goal (of the tournament).. the list goes on.
Anyway, I don't really have any further thoughts on why 2 seconds of sporting genius may be so burnt in to my memory some 10 years after, but its all just an excuse to show some clips!
Bergkamp's Goal against Argentina in France '98
Usain Bolt's 9.58 100m record
