With all the doom and gloom in the world currently, I thought it was time to get back to simpler things.
Sports performers who have taken my breath away on how easy they amke it look: and in no particular order.
Running - Sebastian Coe. The final kick, with no obvious effort glides past the best in world at the time - fluidity in motion
Swimming - Alexander Popov -How the hell can you swim that fast over 50 / 100 metres with your arms moving so slowly???? - fluidity in motion
Cricket (Yanks need not apply) David Gower / Mark Waugh. With no apparent effort, the ball was on / over the boundary - and the ultimate dilemma as fans, when they got out for not much, why didn't they try harder?? - fluidity in motion
Basketball (of which I know VERY little) - it is obvious Jordon could do things that nobody else could, but if it were my choice I would pick Magic Johnson - he could RUN a team, not expect the team to built around him - fluidity in motion
Cricket (again) As an Australian, the obvious is Don Bradman - I am 2 generations away from ever seeing him, but by statistics is TWICE as good as Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, who I have seen - Beyond my comprehension
