Moments That Made 2020

A year that had seen sports halted for most part due to the coronavirus pandemic and left sporting bodies around the world scratching heads to figure out ways to resume events, moments from the sporting arena were supposed to be scarce. Instead, sports in 2020 gifted some of the most enduring and poignant moments. From Rafael Nadal's record-equalling 20th Grand Slam to Lewis Hamilton's tribute to Michael Schumacher on equalling the German's record podium-finish, from Novak Djokovic's momentary lapse of reason to Lionel Messi constant show of discord with the Barcelona hierarchy, from the clenched fists of the Black Lives Matter movement to Khabib Nurmagomedov's emotional goodbye to his MMA career – there were plenty of moments to savour and cherish.
