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?

Olga Korbut's gymnastics in the 1972 olympics.

Wow, Octy.

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

I'm very jealous.

Question Author
I remember it well, Bob.

Who won?

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.
