Not as poignant or important as some of the other pictures in this crazy year, but definitely worth a mention and in a strange way the story encapsulates the entire year as a whole rather well:

Leicester City winning the Premier League in what has been described as the greatest sporting upset of all time. They were 5000 - 1 outsiders at the start of the season.

I don't follow soccer, but that was an amazing story. It was a great year for sports fans.

Cubs finally winning. The Cavs winning one for Cleveland.
