Gutsu ended up winning gold.[[note]]This win, however, was [[OvershadowedByControversy tainted by the controversy]] surrounding the substitution, because the rules at the time only allowed a substitution in the case of documented injury, so a team doctor falsely attested that Galiyeva had a severe knee injury.

** Favre is the more memorable example because, well, it's Brett Favre, but the touchdown that gave the Packers that last-second win actually involved two examples of this trope. Two plays earlier, the Packers' best receiver, Sterling Sharpe, made a huge catch to set up the touchdown but fell on the ball and broke multiple ribs in the process and was replaced by Kitrick Taylor, an unremarkable receiver who had bounced between various NFL teams for half a decade and had never scored an NFL touchdown -- which is quite possibly the reason that the free safety chose to cover tight end Jackie Harris, who was running a parallel route to Taylor, leaving Taylor open to catch the game-winning touchdown. It would be the only touchdown of Taylor's career.
