    When Great Britain won hockey gold at Rio 2016, it was truly game-changing for our sport.

    It has done more than just bring home a gold medal for Team GB, it's inspired a nation of young girls and women across the country to pick up a stick and now we have a 50-50 gender split, which is powering the way forward.

    As sporting moments go, it doesn't get much more dramatic than the 2016 women's Olympic hockey final.

    The match between Great Britain and the Netherlands finished 3-3 in normal time and Team GB keeper Maddie Hinch stepped up to become a national hero.

    She made a string of remarkable saves, before Helen Richardson-Walsh and Hollie Webb scored the decisive penalties to claim Great Britain women's first Olympic hockey gold.

    The moment was massive for us and we weren’t aware what was happening back home.

    After the ceremony we went to the beach and the BBC were there and there were so many journalists and it was only then we realised how big it was for the nation back home.

    Francis Laud: The Curling Gold would have been top of my vote, if it was on the list. One of the best Olympic moments ever, male or female!

    Bob Smith: Fallon Sherrock 5th. Really!? Above Radcliffe, Holmes, Yarnold, Addlington, Cricket world cup winners? What about Lisa Ashton making PDC tour? Surely a greater achievement?

    It's phenomenal. The true athlete in me was like third? What about to be first!

    There have been some phenomenal female sporting achievements so as a netballer especially it means so much to come third.

    For myself and the whole of netball we’re so proud that we’re third in people’s minds.

    England fans were screaming at their screens as the Roses traded goals with hosts Australia in an unbearably tense Commonwealth netball final.

    But all fell silent as Helen Housby lined up the winning goal in the last second, before the team erupted in celebrations when they realised they'd won.

    England has made it to the final after a dramatic semi-final comeback against Jamaica and had a tough task against favourites Australia.

    But they overturned a four-point deficit in the final quarter to secure the greatest result in their history and win their first Commonwealth Games gold medal.

    Everyone knew where they were in the country when she did it and she put Britain on the map that day for such an iconic moment.

    Everyone was riding a crest of emotion out on Centre Court with Virginia Wade but she got the job done and is in the history books forever.

    It was such a special moment having the Queen there to present the trophy. It probably added a bit more pressure but also more exciting.

    It inspired me. That was my first experience of Wimbledon as a spectator. It made me want to play tennis. She's been a mentor to me throughout my life - I call her my fairy godmother.

    She's a really special person. She's incredibly intelligent and articulate.

    Jaggbunnet: No Kelly Holmes, No Liz McColgan, No Paula Radcliffe, No Mary Peters. I get you are trying moments from different sports but it means you ignore achievements that dwarf others.

    The fact Fallon Sherrock changed the game for women in her sports. Peter Wright was the person who nominated her and it's interesting to see the women who made the long list who changed the way we perceive women in their sport which is sometimes dominated by men.

    5: Fallon Sherrock at the 2020 PDC World Championship

    After finishing fifth in the vote, darts player Fallon Sherrock said on 5 Live:

    "It feels amazing. Just to get the privilege of being in the actual vote itself is an honour for me anyway and then to get voted – I’m amazed by it.

    "Obviously with darts it’s always been seen as male dominated. It was nice when we got the opportunity as women to go and play and to have the moment of winning a game against the men on the biggest stage.

    "I didn’t expect it to blow up as big as it did. I’ve always been the underdog and nobody’s ever spoken about me and all of a sudden it was all over the place all across the world. I’m still speechless about it for how big it got.

    "It changed my world completely. I’m so happy I’ve inspired so many people to take up the sport now and believe in themselves."

    Virginia Wade was an idol of mine growing up, getting into the sport.

    It was a huge moment for British women's tennis at the time to see whether Virginia Wade could hold her nerve and win the day and of course she did, a fabulous effort and it inspired me.

    Virginia Wade made the ladies' final at Wimbledon on her 16th attempt and was up against Dutch player Betty Stove.

    For a bit of added pressure, the Queen was in attendance for the first time in 25 years.

    Wade beat Stove in three sets to add a third Grand Slam singles title to those she had won at the US Open and Australian Open.

    She is the last British woman to have won Wimbledon.
