    Rebecca Adlington won by so much that you couldn't even see on the camera shot any of her competitors in the race.

    It was one of the best swimming performances that I have ever seen and probably one of the most inspirational moments I have ever witnessed.

    Rebecca Adlington had already become the first British woman to claim Olympic gold in 48 years when she won the 400m freestyle at Beijing 2008.

    Winning the 800m made her the most successful British swimmer in 100 years.

    As if that wasn't enough, the then 19-year-old smashed a world record that had stood since the year she was born.

    Our panel could only choose one moment from their sport, meaning a lot of amazing women aren't on the list. There is no shortage of support for Kelly Holmes on Twitter.

    Send us your thoughts using #BBCGameChangers

    Adrian Warner:Nobody expected Kelly Holmes to win those two Olympic golds in 2004 with such brilliant performances. That made them even better. And she lifted what was a poor Games in athletics for GB (men’s relay aside). After so many injuries and setbacks, Kelly superb.

    Nurmi1924: You’ve included some superb sportswomen but have overlooked numerous multiple Olympic and World champions who are far better qualified. For one Kelly Holmes

    Danny Mc: Dame Kelly’s Olympic Double. Nicola Adams Olympic Gold. Paula Radcliffe’s World records. 3 Greats forgotten.

  8. 'A huge landmark in British winter sports'published at 19:38 British Summer Time 28 May 2020

    8: Jenny Jones' snowboard bronze at Sochi 2014

    Olympic snowboarder

    Sochi 2014 was the first time our sport was put on the world stage at a Winter Olympics so to see Jenny Jones take the bronze, it was as though she had won the Olympics.

    It was a huge landmark in her career and in British winter sports as it was the first ever British Winter Olympic medal on snow.

    Jenny Jones' slopestyle bronze medal at Sochi 2014 was the continuation of a remarkable story which has seen her work in a cardboard factory, a doughnut shop and as a chalet maid to fund her snowboarding career.

    Jones had already claimed three X Games gold medals and took the lead in Sochi after scoring 87.25 points in her second run.

    She faced an agonising wait while 10 athletes tried to better her score, but finished third to claim Great Britain's first Olympic medal on snow.

    Speaking of winter sport, the nomination for the moment in eighth place came from Olympic snowboarder Aimee Fuller...

    Our panel could only put forward one moment from their sport, which means a lot of incredible sportswomen are not on our list.

    There has been support on Twitter for two-time Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold, with snowboarder Jenny Jones nominated as the winter sport moment.

    Get involved with the debate using #BBCGameChangers

    Paulie Buckers: Very disappointed to not see you in this list Lizzy. For me watching you win Gold in Pyeongchang was one of the greatest sporting achievements I’ve ever watched. Male or Female.

    David Shaw: Mine was Lizzy Yarnold winning back to back winter Olympic skeleton gold first and only British athlete ever to win a winter Olympic gold medal back to back.

  12. 'Adams proved women's boxing was just as good as men's'published at 19:26 British Summer Time 28 May 2020

    Another game-changing moment was when Nicola Adams beat Ren Cancan at London 2012 in the first ever women's boxing Olympic final.

    There was a lot of pressure on her to win and to prove that we were as good as we said we were.

    That there was no difference in standards between ourselves and the men. She had to overcome her own demons because Ren Cancan had beaten her twice before.

    She challenged a lot of stereotypes and she proved we were there to stay and women's boxing, at its highest level, was just as good as the men's.

    9: Jane Couch taking on the British Boxing Board of Control, 1998

    Natasha Jonas

    It was monumental for us because for the first time ever we were recognised as a sport, we could compete alongside the men and have safety of governance.

    It broke down a lot of barriers and challenged a lot of stereotypes and she made it easier for the women behind her to follow in her footsteps.

    Again this was an extremely close one with Jane Couch beating the 2019 Solheim Cup win to ninth place by just a single vote.

    Couch was a world champion but she couldn't fight in the UK. In 1998 she took the British boxing authorities to court.

    The board had refused to give Couch a licence to box professionally, arguing that pre-menstrual tension made women unstable.

    She won her claim of sexual discrimination and was allowed to box legally. Couch truly changed the game for female boxers.

    On to number 9. This one was nominated by Natasha Jonas, the first female British Olympic boxer.

    Excitement is building as we get closer to revealing the winner. And an excellent point from Phil Speck on why it's important to celebrate all these amazing sportswomen.

    Send us your thoughts using #BBCGameChangers on Twitter.

    Phil Speck: Looking forward to seeing the winner - hopefully GB hockey wins It's even more appropriate today, where men's top-flight football gets to continue, when the women's doesn't - it's not right - let's hope the game-changers continue for women's sport.

    Mandi Dunford: Looking forward to the top ten. Heather Knight and team surely at the top with Anya Shrubsole and the final winning wicket at Lord's.

    10: Team Europe's win at the 2019 Solheim Cup

    Catriona Matthew
    Captain of Team Europe at the 2019 Solheim Cup

    Being the captain at the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles in 2019 and winning on home soil, with it coming down to the last match, the last putt and the last green... I think it is the best moment for the excitement, the huge crowds we had there.

    That is the best moment I have witnessed in the last 20 years of women's golf.

    Just edging out rowing for a place in the top 10 by a meagre four votes is Team Europe's 2019 Solheim Cup win.

    Europe put on a sensational show at Gleneagles to beat the United States 14½-13½ after winning the last three singles matches.

    It was Suzann Pettersen who holed the final putt to win the trophy, a moment of vindication for the Norwegian after some expressed doubts when she was chosen as a wildcard by captain Catriona Matthew.

    Pettersen later confirmed her retirement from the game, saying: "This is the perfect end to my career."
