Any sporting event in history

[joggerjayne]

I can hardly wait for the Athletics next week.

I would rather be in the Olympic Stadium next week than anywhere, ever, anytime, desperately (hint there for any guys who have two tickets!!).

So if you could have been at any sporting event ever, where would you have been? For me it would be ...

1. Centre Court for the first Borg/McEnroe Wimbledon final.

2. The Olympic Stadium in 1972 - all week!

3. Athens in 2004 when Kelly Holmes won her second Gold medal (cos I was sitting at home crying, so I ought to have been there instead).

How about you?

easy!! the 1990 world cup

[Eve]

I'd loved to have seen McEnroe play, maybe Nastase or Henri Laconte. Tennis with character :)

Nadia Comaneci doing gymnastics in the 1976 Olympics.

Olga Korbut's gymnastics in the 1972 olympics.

Torville and Dean's famour Bolero win. Seen them live but that would have been something else.

[joggerjayne]

Oooh, those are good ones Jenna. Korbut and then Conameci were totally iconic moments.

Why 1990 cazzz? What happened there?

[andrea81]

Torville and Dean would be one for me!

[cazzz1975]

ooh yes torvil and deans bolero definatly
aston villa 5- birmingham city 1 match

1992 Embassy World Darts Final

[joggerjayne]

Very eclectic, Cazzz.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, Octavius.

That's just perverse.



And questionable if we allow that as a "sport" :-))

Steve.5, you haven't experienced icomic football until you've been to Brighton and Hove Albion on a drizzly winter's afternoon.

I would like to have seen my son running in the commonwealth games British 4x400 relay team final in Manchester. 2002

[joggerjayne]

Some people are on the pitch.

They think it's all over !!!

It ...

... it's Steve.5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

[Octavius]

I know Mr Redgrave really well and seeing as he is a genuinely down to earth nice guy, I would like to have been there when he won his 5th gold.

[bobtheturkey]

are you forgetting the 2005 champions league final ac milan v liverpool

[bobtheturkey]

92 was the dawn of a new age in darts the beginning of the pdc

[joggerjayne]

Wow, Octy.

What a fab person to be able to have a conversation with. Greatest British Olympian, and all that.

I'm very jealous.



(and he's a bit sexy, even in the daft rain mac he wore on the telly this morning!)

[joggerjayne]

I remember it well, Bob.

Who won?

[Stephen_G]

Wasn't born until 1972. so it'd have to be the 1966 World Cup Final. I'd have to have the technology to hear Kenneth Wolstenholme's commentary as Sir Geoff Hurst hammered the final stake into the heart of the Germans though.

Olympics-wise, Chris Boardman in the 4,000 metres individual pursuit from Barcelona or any of Sir Steve Redgrave's victories.
