Yes, another Friday, another excuse for lots of lovely sporting pictures to look at. Today, loosely based around the theme of happiness. Clean, worksafe images only if you please….

To kick off;

David Rudisha. Finest moment on the track for me;

Cedric is stoked about his new steed!

That catch.

Jade Jones.
Olympic Gold medallist.

Usual subject from me…

Galway’s Joe Canning, after scoring the opener against Kilkenny. Love the two players on the ground looking on…no doubt at the goalie picking the sliotar out of the back of the net.

Super Gigi…

Darcy, I think you can just make out one of them saying, “That was yours!” 🙂

Schiavone kisses the clay, Paris 2010. I’m not even much of a tennis fan, but this was ace:

This picture is full of win, just not for the rider;

Obama and Sarkozy enjoying themselves. I like this picture.

Olympic highlight: Bert ‘the Honey Monster’ le Clos. Now that’s joy.

sheer joy & surprise! and a crappy quality photo sorry

a massive release of pressure and expectation

Happiest man to come second!

Kelly holmes for me and better quality picture

For what it meant and what it helped achieved – how they were treated afterwards including the Silver medallist is an appalling legacy
It may not quite be joy though

Ashley Jackson doing his stuff – happy days.

My Great Uncle hit the stumps from square(one stump to aim at) to cause the first ever tied test match. WI vs AUS at the Gabba. In the next test he was out due to his cap falling off onto the stumps!! I was lucky enough to be in Aus when it was the 40th anniversary of the famous match and went to the Gabba to see the test match along with the surviving members of the teams.

Happy yet Gallicly nonchalant at the same time

Tang, that’s brilliant! Thanks!

Thanks Junkyard 🙂

Best joy ever!

FWIW he is screaming goal goal after scoring in the world cup final iirc

He was quote pleased about it and t is called the tardelli cry

Lance – have we done this yet? 8)

A bump for the “is it the weekend yet?” crowd!

If you’re happy and you know it….

The Jade Jones one does it for me. I watched the final and cheered like she was my own daughter when she won. Pure unmitigated joy.
