Which sporting event will break the Twitter record?

If you didn't hear, the Women's World Cup final between the US and Japan this past summer broke the Twitter record for most tweets per second for a sports event at 7,196. Just to give you some perspective of the rise of Twitter, the largest American sporting event, SuperBowl XLV, had 4,064 tweets per second back in February 6, 2011.

Of course, the US-Japan Final had the benefit of Japan tweeting in huge numbers as well, plenty more than for the SuperBowl.

But no doubt, the popularity of Twitter is growing larger and larger and it will just be a matter of time before the record is broken. If Beyonce's announcement of having a baby at the MTV Video Music Awards can garner 8,868 tps (tweets per second, folks), then imagine what the next sports event will attain in terms of tweeting? (And this raises a puzzling query for me... why do so many people care that Beyonce is having a baby? Was it an immaculate conception? Did all the single ladies really have to put their hands up and tweet about it?)

So, let me know your thoughts. What is the next sports event that will break the 7,196 tps record set by the US-Japan Woman's World Cup Final? Do we have to wait until February for the SuperBowl, or will another event take the tweeting trophy?
