Why is this my favorite moment:
Russian Greco-Roman wrestler Alexander Karelin was invincible.He was the three-time defending Olympic champion.Not only had he never lost he reportedly hadn't allowed apoint to be scored on him in six years.So when Karelin lost his grip on a lock, giving Gardner a point,The judges even had to confirm what they had just seen on video replay.Since neither wrestler scored the three points needed for victory at the end of the round, the match went to a three-minute overtime. Before the match, Gardner's wife, Stacy, had said she feared for her husband. "I hear Karelin paralyzed people before," she said. But Gardner withstood Karelin's ferocious assaults in the overtime period, and with the crowd chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" held on for one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history.

My favorite olympic moment is the story of Derek Redmond in 1992 at the Barcelona olympics. He was competing in the 400 meter race. When he was almost half way finished with the race he tore his hamstring. He fell to the ground and stretchers were coming to him but he refused to get on it before he finished the race. His father made his way to him fighting security and helped Derek finish the lap. He finished the lap and the audience gave him a standing ovation. This is my favorite olympic moments because he did something unthinkable he wanted to finish what he started and he was very determined to do so.
