Sports are one of the greatest things ever invented. They are beloved because they bring people together, spark passion, and create memories that last a lifetime. They have a way of keeping people on the edge of their seats, but nothing captures that excitement more than an upset.

Here are the top 3 sports upsets of all time.

1. Miracle on Ice In the 1980 Winter Olympics Team USA pulled off one of the biggest upsets against the Soviet Union. This game was truly one for the ages as USA had a super young team, filled with only college talent. The thing that made this so impressive was the skill gap between these two teams. USA Coach Herb Brooks even said it himself:  “If we played ’em 10 times, they’d win 9.” The Soviet team, made up of men from the army who played hockey for a living, had won 5 of the last 6 gold medals at the time and were heavily favored to get another one. The final score of this game was 4-3 with USA scoring in the 1st and 3rd periods only. Mike Eruzione got the game-winner and the US held on for dear life to preserve the win and create an unforgettable sports memory form Al Michaels: “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!”

2. Buster Douglas knicks out Tyson On February 19, 1990, Buster Douglas Knocked out undefeated Mike Tyson in a crazy match for the Heavyweight Champion of the world.

Even with all odds stacked against him, Buster knocked out Tyson in the 10th round making him the new Heavyweight Champion.
