As an American I think the clear answer is the 1980 Olympics when our hockey team defeated the Soviets (the Miracle on Ice).

    For my country Morocco, without a doubt Hicham El guerrouj the lengadry 1500m runner and his epic double gold medals in Athena 2004 (1500m and 5000m).Hicham had terrible fall injury in Atlanta olympics1996, then got a disappointing second in Sydney 2000 despite being favorite and world record holder. He didn’t give up and tried for a final try in Athena 2004 despite being past his prime and he won a miraculous double gold medal both in his specialty 1500m and a bonus gold in 5000m!
