What are your most heartbreaking experiences as a sports fan?

So strange I was thinking about this the other day, she got her feet tangled up with a young South African named Zola Budd. I had a huge crush on Mary Decker and I was outraged. Only years later did I stop to think about how the incident affected Zola Budd, who I believe never fulfilled her potential as a distance runner.

Yes, about Zola. I too was outraged about the fall.

I think once she started wearing running shoes she began to get a lot of injuries, too.

Also, I am wondering if Decker was taking some substances. IIRC she was caught for something but let off. Then she quit citing injuries.

Seeing Seles getting stabbed. And I was a Graf fan. That was a pretty ugly moment.

That really was tragic.

Seeing the Twins get beat by the Yankees all the time is annoying, irritating, infuriating, even. Not tragic on that level.

RG13, and all 3 Wawrinka wins over Djokovic (other than the USO19 retirement)
Also the World Cup 2014 final. I was hoping Argentina could take the title with Messi on the roster at least once.
