Name a better British athlete ever

Name a better British athlete ever

tip: pointless little no-skill endurance sports like cycling and running need not apply

3-8

>0-Balkans

>British

You mean Scottish.

hi

Don't you guys have a good darter. Dartist? Dartsman? I don't know what the term is. Dart guy.

Also snookerists?

Surely there are better and more representative examples of the peak british athlete.

>jessica penis

Ben Ainslie.

Chris Hoy.

Probably this although OP excluded cycling. Lennox Lewis is up there imo, though he boxed for us in the olympics.

>Scottish fag
>has a tantrum every time he misses a shot
>cries when he wins
>cries when he loses

Am I the only one who things he's a gigantic cunt?

Good point. For Murray to achieve what hoy did he'd have to win every grand slam then convert to squash and win the world championship and Olympics in squash.

Op excluded cycling with the erroneous claim that it requires no skill.

No, everyone thinks he's a massive cunt because he is.

>Am I the only one who things he's a gigantic cunt?

He's just a wee boy pretending to be a man. Typical millennial.

He's okay. Very dry. I can see why it gets up folk's noses though.

>South African Spider Monkey
get real

Don't care. Op is a cunt.

>English parents and represents England/GB

No idea what you mean m8.

If Scots can represent Britain I don't see why people from other colonies can't represent Britain

>hurr durr

>tennis

>a real sport

Worth a shot. If I posted that during the day time the rage would have been glorious.

Will Andy ever win a GS without the need for an askerisk next to his name in the record books?

Depends if Djokovic stops consuming epo in industrial quantities.

He already has two.

is South African

he is even less English than Kevin Pietersen

I think his parents are English, but he was born in Kenya, and spent part of his childhood in SA.

he does not have a single trace of pom in his accent and according to wikipedia he did not live in the UK at all until he was a grown adult

grantit, i have no idea what a white kenyan accent sounds like, but listening to him sounds pure South African to me

He's spent very little time living in the UK. I think he's based in Monaco now too.

so why the fuck does he represent the UK? Is it just a cashgrab/marketing ploy (it would clearly be more profitable to represent the UK than either Kenya or South Africa) ? he can't seriously identify with a country he has rarely if ever lived in

No idea. He isn't as well loved by the british public as Wiggo is either

>so why the fuck does he represent the UK?
Qualifies through his parents I guess.

Does Cavendish count as English/British?

I don't know if the people from those meme islands see themselves as separate. I know they have some weirdo legal status.

I met someone from Jersey once and I think he mentioned that people from the EU could travel to and work in Jersey but people from Jersey did not have unrestricted access to the EU like other UK citizens. Top cucks

Isle of Man and Channel Islands are a bit of an oddity. Isle of Man have their own parliament and aren't english/welsh/scottish but are british.

Rio Ferdinand

Dey bloody island niggers!

That's like me saying someone is American and you saying "you mean Californian"

>implying jocks can afford a computer

If you think he sounds "pure south African" you're deaf

Listen to Sharlto Copley or Oscar Pistorius speaking then tell me that Froome sounds "pure South African"

He was approached by British cycling, he was eligible, so he did it.

Before that he represented Kenya.

If you read about him, his parents are fully English, and even his siblings were born and raised in Britain. His parents just moved to Kenya to start a farm or something and Chris was born there.

He's more British than the "British" tennis players of Johanna Konta (Aussie) and Aljaz Bedene (Slovenian, literally moved to the UK a couple of years ago and thinks that makes him British)

>"British" tennis players of Johanna Konta
Got to love the absurdity of the daily mail

great player in a good sport.
Such ashame he's such an arrogant jock.
I'm still happy for him though.

>so why the fuck does he represent the UK?

British parents, British grandparents, British name, etc.

She can go back to the penal colony in my mind

She clearly, clearly isn't a Brit. She even played for Australia for 8 years. EIGHT YEARS.

I don't think he's arrogant, he's the opposite if anything

She's more Hungarian than british. At least Robson was brought up here

We have the pure English rose Katie Swan. She will make it big where the other impure ones have failed. I believe.

But will she release a video of her in her underwear with pants on her head?

We can only hope and pray that she does.

/thread

>This damage control

none of that really matters until his buddies in broadcasting sit in judgement of other players who aren't even half as bad as he is and still early in their careers

though in fairness to andy himself, i've heard he's sympathetic to kyrgios so there's that

Nick Faldo

And her Scottish friend Ali Collins, who is from Dunblane the same as Murray.

how exactly is he a good player.

This decade has been terrible for tennis, stamina is valued over skill. So yeah, if you want to compare him to a marathon athlete he's alright.

Eddie Hall
