Tiger woods 2000 year will go down as the greatest feat. 20-20 cuts made, 9 wins (3 were majors) and top 25 in every tournament with 67 scoring average. People don't realize how fricking hard that is to do on that level.


Nobody has dominated the Tour like that.... BUT still.........

But still what? That will never happen again, so it should be up there for greatest feat.

All time - Secretariat's triple crown.
Still holds the record for fastest time at ALL THREE TRACKS!

Still holds the track record of 1:59 & 2/5; no other horse ever broke 2:00 at churchill downs until Monarchos in 2001.

He won by 31 lengths (breaking the margin-of-victory record set by Count Fleet in 1943, who won by 25 lengths), and ran the fastest 1½ miles on dirt in history, 2:24 flat, which broke the stakes record by more than two seconds. No other horse has ever broken 2:25 for 1½ miles on dirt.

Pretty damn impressive.

Carl Lewis 1991 World Championships in Tokyo.

He broke the World Record twice but was wind aided and he also had the greatest set of jumps in history. It all gets forgotten because Mike Powell hit the miracle jump to win the competition.

The other one I got is Eric Heiden, but wasnt in single day. He went 5 for 5 in Speed Skating. That is fricking impressive no matter what you think.

Lance turned out to be a Borg-level douchebag, but still outdid the rest of the world's best cycling chemists in maybe the most grueling human event...seven times. It's shameful he made it cringe-worthy to recognize, but I don't think that was a fluke.


He scared people with his tactics off the road (pretty deplorable) and on the road. Yeah, he was doped up, but everyone else was too. Oh and he had dealt with cancer and kicked its arse. He destroyed everyone, toyed with everyone, and had no remorse for the people standing in his way. He made the TdF America's race for nearly a decade.

What's Borg-level? Whatever it means, he was probably that too

I still don't know how you top Owens tying or breaking 4 world records in 45 minutes while still in college.

All of these are amazing, and if you're looking at careers, then I would prob say Wayne's points either for a season or all time

Tiger winning 4 straight majors against the competition these days is way more impressive....golf has grown so much since Nicklaus was dominating yet Tiger still dominated more than anyone ever has

unassisted triple play


I actually witnessed this at a t-ball game and was amazed.

I did some research and found out only 15 have been done in all of MLB history.

I feel so privileged to have been present at the event.

Impressive, but a few fighters in history could have done this -- across those weight classes or others -- if they'd have made it their goal to do so.
