[Answer] Which sportscaster popularized the expression, "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat"?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


Which sportscaster popularized the expression, "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat"?


  • Jim McKay:This line was spoken by Jim McKay, the sports journalist and host of ABC's Wide World of Sports for 37 years. McKay's introduction for that program has become part of American pop culture, reminding viewers of the show's mission: "Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports, the thrill of victory ... and the agony of defeat." The melodramatic introduction became a national catchphrase that is often said to this day. While "the thrill of victory" had several symbols over the decades, ski jumper Vinko Bogataj, whose dreadful misjump and crash during a competition, was heard over the sentence "...and the agony of defeat."
