Rusedski has served at 149mph, but don't know if it was Wimbledon 2005, so think this figure might be slightly low. Thanks for replies anyway Trojanfarce & Pantheon.

7) GB only won three gold medals that year:
Team GB Hockey
Malcolm Cooper - small bore rifle
Adrian Moorhouse - 100 Breastroke

Can't find any conclusive scheduling info online for 1988, but a quick search (lunch break here!!) indicates it may well be Adrian Moorhouse.

As to the tennis one, I know that the current world fastest serve is 155 but the 136 mark was the highest I could find.
Good Luck.

These were the gold medal winners, but I haven't found any dates. Good hunting !!

9) London to

Venice - 707
Madrid - 783
Oslo - 718
Prague - 644
Barcelona - 712

And Adrian Moorhouse is right, he won his medal on the 2nd or 3rd day of the Olmpics, the other two were in the second week.
I really must do some work.........
