Former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's famous lap around the Wankhede Stadium after the World Cup 2011 win has been nominated in Laureas's list for the most inspiring sporting event in the last twenty years.The moment featuring Tendulkar has been described as "Carried on the shoulders by a nation".On his sixth attempt at the World Cup and with India not having won the competition since 1983, Tendulkar finally became a part of the team that lifted the coveted trophy. Carried on the shoulders of the Indian team, he made a lap of honour, shedding tears of joy after the victory was sealed in his home city.The 2011 World Cup was also the first time, in which a host nation ended up winning the trophy.Apart from Tendulkar, England's Andrew Flintoff is the only other cricketer to feature in the list. In 2005, England managed to defeat Australia in an Ashes Test, but Flintoff chose to first shake hands with Brett Lee rather than celebrate with his side.Matthias Steiner (weightlifting), Natalie du Toit (swimming), Sky Brown (skateboarding), Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee (triathlon), Xia Boyu (mountaineering) have been nominated in the list.Female tennis stars also feature in the list for coming up with an equal play, equal pay campaign.

While most players would carry on as if nothing had happened, Klose was honest with the referee and admitted that he handled the ball.As a result, he also finds a place on the list.The Laureus Sporting Moment Award celebrates the moments where the sport has unified people in the most extraordinary way.This campaign has shortlisted 20 sporting stories from the last 20 years that have left their mark on the world.The winner will be decided on the basis of public voting.
