If you've followed me for very long, you know I like track. This is my favorite race of all time. Most people think Dave Wottle ran too slow at first, and then had to make up for it in a desperate kick at the end of the race. But this isn't true. In fact, each of his four 200
It may be the greatest race of all time and a reminder of not ever giving up https://t.co/mOYBzHpf0B

Novak Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slams across multiple decades, but some aspects of his game look different today than earlier in his career I analyzed 620 matches from @tennisabstract's fantastic Match Charting Project to break down how the GOAT has adapted his tactics Read

@lucasgarth I know. It's almost as if the heavy pre-game favourite actually had a biased coin

@MConallin @henry_152 @insightlane @sirswampthing @AFL It's tough to get an exhaustive list and I'm only going off what they did for the local broadcaster (so ignoring what Bruce did for London 2012 for the world feed, for instance, although our lack of success in the pool there meant there was little).

Phenomenal fact.
A measure of how cricket has changed - 253 playing 246 was the exact score in the ODI World Cup final in 1987

The emotion you can hear in his voice in the final metres is unforgettable.

They had to play peak Djokovic though. Same reason why he was slow to start winning bit titles. He had to play peak Federer/Nadal.
To show just how great Novak Djokovic's longevity is, there isn't a single big title in tennis where both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have won at an older age. In fact, not only is he the only man to ever win all 15 big titles (and he's also won each one at least twice), by
