Seven Wonders of the Sporting World (Events)

We have discussed the Wonders of the Sporting World, which are all about stadiums and venues, although the experience of being there to watch sport in these stadiums is what makes it special. Hence the need for a Top-7 Wonders of the Sporting World - Sporting Events List.

I created a more comprehensive list before whittling it down to our top 7 wonders. Do you agree with my selections? Let me know in the comments below. Following feedback from this list, we have also made a list of female sporting event wonders.
