1979–Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals reaches the 3,000-hit plateau with an infield hit off Chicago Cubs pitcher Dennis Lamp.
1987–Jackie Joyner-Kersee equals the world record in the women's long jump with a 24-5½ leap in the Pan American Games at Indianapolis. The record was set in 1986 by Heike Dreschler of East Germany.
1995–Cuba's Ana Quirot, severely burned in a 1993 kitchen accident, wins the 800 meters at the World Track & Field Championships.
1995–Steve Elkington shoots a final-round 64 and birdies the first sudden-death playoff hole to take the PGA Championship from Colin Montgomerie. Elkington's 64 is the lowest final round by a PGA Championship winner.

2008–Michael Phelps swims into history as the winningest Olympic athlete ever with his 10th and 11th career gold medals–and five world records in five events at the Beijing Games. He wins the 200-meter butterfly, then swam the leadoff of a runaway victory by the U.S. 800 freestyle relay team, which shatters the world mark by more than 4 seconds.
