As in, whatever you want to include - Go for it!

Sporting photos of the highest order to brighten a rather hectic Friday, if you please!

Such as...

My new tennis hero;

Lukas Rosol. Smashing ground strokes at 99mph past Rafa Nadal last night. Awesome!

And, well, it's been a while....

She's going to be coming over for the Olympics. Which is nice. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh, and Mr Lee....

He may be about 90, but he can still hurl it down fast!

Johnny Hoogerland - hard man and an all round nice chap. That's him going up a section of pave here in the city that averages 15.4% and the bit he's on is probably more like 18%.

He might look like a public school pretty boy, but make no mistake, this boy is tougher than teak

This guy has worked his ass off for years to try and achieve his dreams.
Fingers crossed for the next 3 weeks.

OK so a little after the high performance bit, but this photo completed one or the most memorable sporting events I've ever enjoyed...

Now that is a picture that sums up the concept of "sport".

Contest, fight, battle.... and yet, honour and respect.

Thank you!

I've never really hero worshiped anyone in my years, but this guy is pretty awesome... Wrote the book on surfing and one of the best windsurfers a few years back. Performance is too short a word...

Loving the Wiggins pictures. That guy has worked so hard for the next 3 weeks. I truely hope he achieves his dreams. I am so looking forward to the tour this year. I want a succession of Brits over the line first to show the world that we can win things when we focus.

Samuri +1 its not just bias this year, I really think we can get Yellow and Green.

not sure we can get both. I'd settle for Yellow and Gold.

Praying that both can get through unscathed. It's a tough game, steer clear of crashes so that Brad can be there when it matters, and Cav is fit and firing for London.
