Voinjama Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does anyone agree with me that this has been the best year for British sport ever. *Record number of gold medals at the Olympics *Record number of gold medals at the Paralympics. *Successfully hosted the Olympics with out any major set backs. *British tour de france winner. *British grand slam winner for the first time since 1936. *Incredible last day of the premiership. I think that is all, have I missed anything? And please no one say 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Fantastic match. Absolutely delighted for him, no other man in tennis was more deserving of winning a major! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Record number of gold medals at the Paralympics. We won 8 more in Beijing, but yes I agree with your overall point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Record number of gold medals at the Paralympics. We won 8 more in Beijing, but yes I agree with your overall point. Plus the Brits won more golds at the 1908 Olympics. (And there have been several other British Grand Slam winners in the Womens and the Doubles but that's being pedantic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I just checked, yes Britain did win gold more at the 1908 Olympics, but only 22 nations competed, because of difficulties in getting to London because travel was not great then. Secondly its all about individual grand slam wins, not doubles, or juniors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Miserable BRITISH clearing in the woods! Well done Andy Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 What a great match. They played some awesome tennis. 50+ shot rallies etc. After a very hard fought opening two sets, Murray played like shit and basically handed Djokovic the 3rd and 4th. When Murray was 3-0 up in the 5th and Djokovic broke back then made it 3-2 I thought he was going to complete the comeback but Murray held his service games well and fully deserved the win. What a year it has been for him! Wimbledon final, olympic gold and silver and now the US Open winner! If Djokovic and Federer do shit in the remaining tournaments that are left to play this year, Murray could top the year off completely by being ranked number one!!! Longshot but apparently it is possible with how the ranking points work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not his biggest fan and I'll be honest in saying I was one of the many that thought he would bottle it. Congratulations to him though and he fully deserves it. His game has rapidly improved over recent years and it looks like all that hard work has finally paid off. Now for Wimbledon...

Nigel Posted September 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2012 The mental strength he showed to come back like that was impressive. I didnt think he had it in him! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Is Djokovic made of elastic? How the hell does he not do his ligaments in with those rediculous splits he does when he's running at full pelt especially after he's still doing them after 4 hours of playing? Either a freak of nature or has a conditioning coach that deserves a job at the Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Watching Wimbledon on my laptop at work (which is in no way impeding me from doing my work) and saw Boulter hit a great shot. Found myself searching for the like button on the BBC pages. I may have too many non work pages open right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
