Weird 100 greatest sports moments list
 
I realize that it's a British list, but still, 100 *greatest*??

Number 1 is "Steve Redgrave winning his 5th consecutive Olympic gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics (Rowing)"

Every time I see that highlight I don't think about his gimpy legs. I think about "how in the hell did that ball go that far with that swing." I still wonder. I watch lots of baseball and would have guessed it be a single falling in between the second baseman and the right-fielder.

The British are really bad at 100 greatest lists:

100 Greatest Britons

I don't know who Isambard Kingdom Brunel is, but he's No. 2. Ahead of Isaac Newton, Charles Dawrin, Alan Turing, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, etc, etc, etc.

And how does Chris Britton not make the list?

Yeah, I actually read about him before I posted. Building some bridges doesn't impress me as much as inventing physics and calculus, proving evolution, fathering computer science, or being a Beatle.

Edit: I'll concede that the guy has an amazing name.
