Images of Victory and Passion

I just bought a few books that I'm really looking forward to reading - If the thought of reading for pleasure is totally foreign because you're in school I totally understand! The three books I'll be getting into are Bowerman and the Men of Oregon (have recently rekindled my love for the movie Without Limits about Steve Prefontaine...), Golden Girl by Michael Silver (a biography of Natalie Coughlin the Olympic swimmer), and Women Who Win: Female Athletes on Being the Best (short bios and stories of 10 champion female athletes).

We had a similar discussion last year about inspirational sports movies and I wanted to open up discourse along the same vein - what are the most enduring images or memories that you have of victory and passion in any sport? Please take a moment and add a comment if you can think of any images that really strike to the heart of what it means to be a champion in your mind!

What about Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston after knocking him out?
