Favourite Athlete (Tits not a valid reason for picking someone)

[Flying Pig]

Did he really? How do you know, because Bailey said he did (a statement which he later apologised for saying his emotions had got the better of him)?

 

Anyhoo, he was still a top class athlete and his performances in Atlanta and Sydney are some of the best of all time.

 

Exactly ,they were level after the bend which suggests that Johson was winning.

he didn't pull up 'lame' until the 10 second mark as bailey was sprinting away.

 

look, i don't get track and field anyways...it does absolutely nothing for me, but when a guy (american) goes around thumping his chest and declaring himself to be the 'fastest man in the world' disrespecting the tradition that this accolade goes to the 100m champ (except when an american doesn't win it), then you either put up, or shut up.

 

he got whipped and embarrassed - simple fact. if the injury was legit, why didn't he go looking for another race ? because he never wanted this one in the first place, that's why.

 

he got some money, and was able to walk away with an excuse.....favourite athlete, indeed.

[Section_31]

Leryn Franco, possibly the greatest javelin thrower since King Leonidas.

 

 

 

Victoria Pendleton, Olympic cyclist extraordinaire.

 

 

[Joe Le Taxi]

White men may not be able to jump but black men cant swim

White men may not be able to jump but black men cant swim

 

 

Psst... You. Yes you, might want to take that back, the last time they said blacks couldn't play a certain sport the Williams sisters showed up.

Your brother I seem to recall?

 

Is he as much as a raving deviant perv as your goodself?

[Edward.]

Probably not, only Alan Sex qualifies for that, but the did get pissed in Helsinki and puked up all over Paula Radcliffe on the team bus.

[Pdool]

 

I always love watching Tiger Woods. Won the US open on one leg last year, also won me a bit of money.

 

Also Tendulka, Shane Warne, Michael Phelps and Michael Schumacher

The also said the same thing about golf and F1 too.

That jackass needs to think again.

[dirty_sanchez]

Valentino Rossi of course.

Good thread Harvey! I can think of a few, but off the top of my head.

 

This lad:

 

 

Oh, and him as well:

 

 

And finally these two: The legendary Teofilo Stevenson (the world's best ever heavyweight boxer?). . .

 

 

. . . and the brilliant Felix Savon.

 

 

 

Edit: Another Cuban - Alberto Juantorena:

*F on the GF...?

 

Oh fuck..

[sir roger]

Psst... You. Yes you, might want to take that back, the last time they said blacks couldn't play a certain sport the Williams sisters showed up.

 

It's certainly a strange sporting era when the world's best golfer is black & all of the world heavyweight boxing champs are white.

They do have the distinct advantage of being men whilst their opponents are women.

Floats like a butterfly, stings like blah, blah, blah.

Tits not a valid reason for picking someone? Does that mean no Sharon Davies?

 

 

 

Oh, ok then.

Not my favourite athlete by a long chalk, but her then-husband Derek Redmond was responsible for one of the most enduring images of the Barcelona Olympics.

hes the biggest scum fan in Jamaica ffs :/

 

cunt will get caught doping sooner or later anyway.

Nothing radical here, but it's always the geniuses that I'm fascinated by in any sport: Ali, Warne, Bolt, Woods, etc. Anyone who is obviously streets ahead of anyone else is pretty hard to ignore.
