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

    The Miracle on Ice is as glorious, but let’s not forget the Dream Team!

      eh, those are polar opposites really… Miracle on Ice was indeed a Miracle on Ice and created legends, the Dream Team was cool because we got to see those players together, but the expectation was domination so… maybe legendary in that sense?

      Michael Jordan sneaking in a ping pong table into his hotel room and practicing two days straight because he lost to Christian Laettner earlier is just hilarious.
