The Beeb losing it a tad.....



Seriously? He wouldn't be in the top 10.

Not sure you know
He’s got to be the greatest British tennis player 3 majors and 20 years at the top so you’d have to rank him against the best of British in remaining sports

For me despite how brilliant they are at what they do I couldn’t personally name a Golfer, F1 Driver, Darts player, snooker player and a few more as the greatest athlete

Edit
I’ve just realised that wouldn’t work as you could think 4/5 athletes from the same sport are still better than him


Still think he’s in with a shout of making the top 10 though

People used to refer to darts players as athletes back in the day, athletes or the definition of athletes has shifted over the years and if he's just in the conversation because he played in the Olympics I am not having it.

He was top of the tennis tree for 41 weeks overall (Pretty impressive) but not exactly mind blowing.

So are we cheering for Argentina in the football this afternoon? They play France and have Alvarez but France have Otamendi and someone who was once registered with us but I don't remember him Geronimo Rulli.
I'm sticking with Argentina and Alvarez. :-)

If you don't have to change out of your shoes, then it is not a sport.

He was 3 under par after 5 holes
That made him 7 under overall
He had a one foot poor at the sixth to go 4 under after 6 holes today
