What's your favourite ever sporting moment that you can remember watching live?
I'm giving my age away a bit but mine is the 1985 World snooker final between Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis. It went to the final frame and the final black.
Phelps is extraordinary of course but I think sometimes people should remember that there considerably more chances to win titles in swimming than in other sports like say track and field or any other sport really.

I saw a college football team kneel down to disrespect the national anthem. Then the players took turns urinating on the flag at midfield. The fans became infuriated and came out of the stands and severely beat every player.

Michael Phelps sweeping the 2016 Olympic events in swimming after being told he was far too old at age 31 to compete, something people were already saying when competed in 2012 at age 26*, to then become the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time with 28 medals, 23 Gold (the most of any Olympic athlete ever), only 5 non-Gold showing just how unoften he didn't take first.
Source(s): * Retirement from men's competitive swimming generally occurs in early to mid-20's with a precipitous drop in performance, peak performance generally being late teens to very early 20s (e.g., Australian swimming champion Ian "Thorpedo" Thorpe, widely considered the fastest swimmer in the world from 1999 through 2002 and a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, retiring at age 24 in 2006, though he did try to come out of retirement in 2011, at age 29, to make a bid to get on Australia's Olympic team just for an opportunity to swim with Michael Phelps at the 2012 Olympics but failed to qualify after winning sufficiently to earn himself the 9th spot of the maximum team size of 12 a country can send but failing to come in in under 50 seconds on his 100m heat, an automatic Olympic disqualifier for men's swimming sprinters)
