Wayne Gretzky

April 18, 1999, in New York. Here we have a truly emotional scene. The crowd at Madison Square Garden erupted with a glorious sendoff for Wayne Gretzky as he paid his last respects to his adoring supporters, and vice versa. This was a ceremonial sendoff for the star player as number 99 waved his goodbyes following his conclusive match in his time with the NHL. Few people in history have ever been honored in such an epic way.

Usain Bolt

August 20, 2008, at the Beijing Olympics. Usain Bolt of Jamaica is seen here with his mouth open and his eyes wide as he tries to process the fact that he has just broken the men’s 200-meter final record thanks to a 19.30 seconds timing. This would be the sprinter’s second record-breaking performance with his first being during the 100-meter sprint. The Jamaican superstar shattered all expectations of him as he proved himself to be a virtually superhuman athlete.
