Greatest upset in sports history?

I have seen this mentioned in regards to Leicester.
Seems like he if you were to just go by odds it would have to be wouldn't it?
Seen the Miracle on Ice mentioned and since it was not just a one off game, maybe.
Tyson/Douglass?
Others?

I think this is well up there. More impressive than even Forest winning the league then European cup in the 80's

Is the fact that it is not just one game (or a series of one or two games) a factor?

Leicester City were 5000/1 to win the league I think.
Answers itself.
Also, what the hell does that second sentence in the OP mean?

Lot's of these are just one of games, matches or fights.
The fact that Leicester has had to play 38 games to achieve this says it all.
