SWR Sport's Jonothan Gallo lists his 5 favourite sporting moments of 2017
One Night In November - Part 2
Socceroos qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia-after the longest campaign in history of World Cup qualifying, the Socceroos finally managed to secure a qualification through to Russia.
I believe this was a massive moment due to the potential consequences for football in this country had the Socceroos not qualified. Plus, the mounting pressure under Ange at the time as well.

Matilda's Take The Tournament Of Nations
The Matilda's stunned everybody by winning the Tournament of nations against one of the women’s more dominating forces in world football, Brazil.
A 6-1 goal fest combined with a masterclass in possession based style of football, really caught the eyes of the entire World. Since then, the Matildas have beaten Brazil on two other separate occasions. 3-2 up in Newcastle and 2-1 in Penrith.
A wonderful year for the Matildas who are by the far the best footballing team representing Australia and the best national Women’s team across any code in this country bar none

TIGER-TIME!
Richmond finally winning the AFL Premiership, after a 37 year drought to be over deserves to be on the list.
For Tigers fans to have to wait that long to see success, I think any sporting fan can sympathise with them.
A truly deserved premiership win for such a historic AFL footy club.

Serena Williams - Australian Open Singles And Doubles Champion 2017
For her to be 8 weeks pregnant and still end up winning the Australian Open, tells you how great of a tennis player and athlete Serena Williams is.
She defied the odds to win this one to really stake her claim as the best tennis player the women’s game has ever seen.

Kangaroos On Top Of The World
For the Kangaroos to take home the rugby league world cup was a great achievement.
Despite a lot of expectations and media light on the Kangaroos, they responded to it each and every game. With great performances, came great results to match.
