The Highs and lows of Sport (Reference only)

To me, this week in sport has been one of those weeks where we have witnessed an incredible high in Lewis Hamilton's Formula one World championship win to the numbing lows of the death of cricketer Phil Hughes. I hope this thread can be welcomed as a thread for us all to record such events in future,

Here are my list of my favourite highlights of sport in 2019 ;-

1) Ruiz beating Joshua - To me, this is the single most sporting upset of the year. nobody saw it coming and I do think now no fighter could ever get in the ring against Joshua and be afraid of him. Ruiz just simply blitzed him, and can't wait to see the re match.

2) England finally winning the Cricket World Cup. Probably the single summer sporting highlight on British soil for many. The Final probably was the most nerve wracking and tense TV sports coverage any of us probably watched. But we are One day Cricket World Champions!!

3) Ben Stokes Test Heroics. Ben produced probably the best performance by an English batsman in a Ashes series since Botham's heroics in '81 and to do it at the same ground too!!

4) Dina Asher Smith World championships. She produced probably one of the best performances by a female athlete for a very long time winning gold in Dubai. She simply was a class above thr rest of the field. Next stop Tokyo.

5) England V NZ World cup semi Final. I don't think England produced a far better display in rugby than this, they simply took the game to New Zealand and New Zealand simply didn't know how to react when England scored in the first two minutes, They did start to pull it back towards the end of the first half, but those opening two minutes will be what I wil always want to remember and keep watching from what was a fantastically staged Rugby World Cup. Who knows what Japan has in store for us with the Olympics next year?

What were yours?

Be a bit hard to get a sporting highlight this year because i can't see the sports returning this year.

Anyway the only sporting highlights i can think of from this year are Edge returning at Royal Rumble one of the most epic returns in years in WWE and his story fighting back to get back into the ring brings you close to tears and Liverpool finally almost nearly winning their first Premier League Title in 30 years.
