I think the '89 Preakness and Flo Joe represented the "thrill of victory" than Down Goes Frazier and some skier taking an insane fall represented the agony of defeat.

I think they capped it with a play at the plate in a little leauge world series game which represted the "human drama of athletic competition."

There was also a gymnist in there somewhere.
