Same rules except you can't include American sports where they only compete against each other and call it a world championship....

Alternatively the worst moments in sports, everything else to do with Atlanta including the McDonald's chip packet cauldron.

Like him or loathe him Tiger's 2019 Masters win would be a contender.

The era of efforts to break the 4 minute mile.

Landy stopping to check the fallen Ron Clarke.

The Mexico City 68 Games 200m presentation produced an iconic image.

On Tiger, his greatest win to me will always be the Pebble Beach US Open in 2000 (the year Tiger was untouchable).

The course was so tough that 2nd place was taken by Miguel Ángel Jiménez on +3. Yet Tiger mauled the course to the tune of a final score of -12. It was a performance for the ages.

Norman and his two mates certainly iconic, but none of whom were risking summary "judicial punishment".  Thus Andy Flower and Henry Olonga, 2003 Gilly.  How soon we forget.  ...oh that's right shit for brains(sorry TGM) took some pills out for a joyride which hijacked the issue.
