The 100 Best Sports Photos of 2009 - (Part 4 of 4)
Every week I look at roughly 15,000 sports pictures to produce this blog. They come in from all over the world, from events large and small, from countries with famous sporting reputations, and from countries that I might struggle to find on a map. My calculator tells me that's over three quarters of a million sports pictures annually. Have I really looked at that many pictures this year? My constant fear is that I've missed a gem, and with that many images to scan over, I'm sure I have. And paring what I collected this year down to just 100 pictures leaves out way too many amazing images as it is. But what's left is spectacular. I hope you enjoy this last installment of the top pictures, which represents the months of October, November, and December, and the links below will hook you up with the first three installments. ( 25 photos total)

Another great collection which appears to have been overlooked by the masses. Thank you for your time and energies Mr Taylor. Long may The Big Picture continue to wow and educate (me).
@Richard,
Thank you. It's my pleasure. Although you're confusing me with my esteemed colleague Alan Taylor, who edits The Big Picture. Happy New Year and I hope you continue to enjoy the Big Shots sports photo blog.
As an avid amateur photographer, the quality of photographs I've seen on this site never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the excellent work - you give me something to strive towards.
Nice work, except the helicopter in #23 pi$$es me off! It's like a nice mountain scene, with powerlines running through it!
Absolutely, unbelievably amazing pictures. I just cannot believe that these images can be captured on film. I am in AWE!!!
