Happy birthday, Colorado — and Colorado sports.

Leading into the state’s 150th birthday Aug. 1, The Denver Gazette has partnered with the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame to publicize the definitive list of Colorado’s top 150 sports moments.

Colorado Sports Hall of Fame historian Dave Plati and a committee of 10 compiled and will release the list every week until the No. 1 moment on July 31. Plati and Broncos icon Jim Saccomano will unveil the list weekly on a Colorado Sports Hall of Fame podcast at coloradosports.org/podcast/.

Today’s top moment in Colorado sports history:

No. 125

Aug. 25, 1920

Denver native and Longmont High graduate Eddie Eagan, the state’s first Olympian, won the gold medal in the light heavyweight boxing competition in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. Twelve years later, he made Olympic history that still hasn’t been matched; he became the first and only athlete to win gold medals in the Summer and Winter Olympics in different sports. On Feb. 15, 1932, he was on the U.S. team that won the gold in the four-man bobsled at Lake Placid, New York.
