During her first performance at the vault, Kerri Strug injured her ankle. She was clearly in pain, but she refused to give up. This photo captures her landing after her second attempt, holding her pose while her teammates on the sidelines held their breaths. Her performance was crucial to the team’s chances of winning a gold medal.
BILLY KILMER AND MANNY FERNANDEZ
The Miami Dolphins faced the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII on January 14, 1973. Manny Fernandez, a defensive lineman for the Dolphins, had a dominant game with 17 tackles. He also sacked Redskins quarterback Billy Kilmer, as seen here rushing past a Redskins offensive lineman in pursuit of that goal.

The Dolphins beat the Redskins, but Manny Fernandez did not receive the MVP Award, despite the fact that he deserved it. Because he had been out late the night before and wasn’t focused, Dick Schaap, who was named MVP, admitted he didn’t realize Fernandez had 17 tackles in that game.
