What are the best comeback stories in history?

One of the best comeback stories in sports history is that of the Leicester City football club in the English Premier League. They were huge underdogs at the start of the 2015 - 2016 season. Their odds of winning the league were 5000 - 1. But through great teamwork, smart coaching, and a bit of luck, they managed to win the league against all odds. They came from relative obscurity to become champions, defying the expectations of many big - name clubs and pundits.

IBM had a significant comeback. In the 1990s, IBM was facing huge losses and was in a difficult situation. But through strategic restructuring, focusing on services and innovation, it managed to turn things around. It regained its position as a major player in the technology industry.

A great comeback story is that of Muhammad Ali. He was stripped of his boxing titles and banned from the sport for refusing to be drafted into the military during the Vietnam War. But after several years, he was able to return to boxing. He went on to have some of the most iconic fights in boxing history, like the 'Rumble in the Jungle' against George Foreman, and regained his status as one of the greatest boxers of all time.

JK Rowling had a great comeback story. She was a single mother on welfare when she started writing the Harry Potter series. Her manuscript was rejected multiple times. But she persisted, and now the Harry Potter franchise is a global phenomenon, with books, movies, and a whole world of merchandise.

One of the best comeback stories is that of Apple. In the 1990s, Apple was struggling. But with the return of Steve Jobs, they completely reinvented themselves. They introduced revolutionary products like the iPod, iPhone and iPad, and went from being on the verge of bankruptcy to one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Michael Jordan's return to the NBA in 1995 after briefly retiring was a huge comeback. He had left the sport at the height of his career to pursue baseball. When he came back, he led the Chicago Bulls to three more championships, showing that he still had the skills and competitiveness to dominate the game.

Winston Churchill also had an amazing comeback. He had been out of favor in the British political scene for some time. But when World War II broke out, his experience and leadership skills were desperately needed. He was brought back into power and his strong leadership during the war is a remarkable part of political history.

The Chicago Cubs' 2016 World Series win is also a remarkable comeback story. The Cubs hadn't won a World Series in over a hundred years. In that series, they were down in the series at various points. But they fought back. Their victory in Game 7 was especially memorable, with that rain delay and then the final out that ended the long drought. It was a story of perseverance and a comeback against the odds.

One of the best is Lance Armstrong's comeback after battling cancer. He went on to win multiple Tour de France titles. His story inspired many as he overcame a life - threatening illness and then dominated in his sport again.

Steve Jobs' return to Apple is a classic comeback story. After being ousted from the company he co - founded, Apple was struggling. When Jobs came back, he brought with him new ideas and a vision that led to the creation of iconic products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. This turned Apple from a company on the verge of failure into one of the most valuable companies in the world.
