Top Four:
- SportingSpeak predictions. Our very own Alexandra Kyrke-Smith predicted the Australian Open winners back in September, and this weekend her foresight proved accurate when Novak and Serena lifted the trophies. Check back later in the year to see if her predictive abilities hold up throughout the Grand Slam calendar.
- Young British talent. Katie Swan made it to the final of the Australian Open, in what we hope is a sign of things to come.
- Transfer Deadline Day. Always the subject of speculation, with financial fair play rules really starting to take effect this year.
- The Superbowl. The biggest sporting event in America, with half time acts, half time ads, and all the hype to match. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks in a game that came down to the final few minutes.
In the relegation zone:
- Tiger Woods continued his inauspicious start to the year with a record breaking round at the Phoenix Open. Record breaking for all the wrong reasons.
- Active People. The latest Active People survey is in, and the numbers don’t look good. Fewer people are participating regularly in sport, with swimming seeing the biggest drop in numbers. It’s time to #TurnTheTide.
- Lance Armstrong. Unrepentent, and hoping for forgiveness.
