Nice thread CWB...a lot of history and great pics. Before my time the Lou Gehrig "Luckiest Man on Earth" pic will always be a classic.

 

In my time the Miracle on Ice, Jimmy V, and Usain Bolts "lightning in Moscow" pics are pretty incredible to me!

Some awesome, iconic photos.

 

What's up with the random Andre Johnson touchdown photo towards the end? I guess it's there because of the defender on the ground, but you could probably take a photo like that every single weekend. "Which one of these things is not like the other"...it made me laugh.

The Jesse Owens picture is by far my favorite.

 

Secretariat is a distant second. No pun intended.

How did this one get left out?

I can't get into the link, is there a picture of the guy in the ski mask from the Munich Olympics massacre? Seems like that should make it.

Yes.

Thanks. Sinking feeling in my gut every time I see it.

If you have to explain what the photo is of, it's not powerful. Most of those were not, what I would consider powerful. It's a subjective thing, I guess.

 

Too me, a powerful photo speaks for itself. No explanation of context is necessary.

Wish a Jim Thorpe picture would have made it.
