What’s happening in the world of swimwear? On Valentine’s day, February 14th 2008 Speedo launched it’s latest and most advanced hydro-dynamic swimsuit following input from NASA, tests on over 100 specialist fabrics and body scans of over 400 of the wolrds elite swimmers.

Made from a water repellent, fast-drying and lightweight fabric that is ultrasonically welded together to appear seamless the SPEEDO® LZR RACER™ has been specifically developed to help hold the swimmers body in a more streamlined position and reduce drag.

Speedo claims that the suit has been independently…read more about SPEEDO® LZR RACER™

What will the status of the Twenty20 World Cup winners be when they emerge victorious from the tournament this month?

It might sound an odd question, but think about how absurd it would be in any other sport. Imagine that six months after the FIFA World Cup, another tournament, also called the World Cup, was played with pretty much the same teams fielding pretty much the same players in a pretty similar tournament format with pretty similar viewing figures (both at the grounds and on the telly), but with 45-minute matches rather than the full 90.

I’m not questioning the existence of T20, because I love cricket…read more

Four years ago, Clive Woodward’s England team went down under and returned with the Webb Ellis trophy, as Champions of the World. They had the ‘usual’ heroes’ welcome: thousands crammed in to Heathrow airport (including my sister who, by shouting ‘Press! Press!’ and flashing her driving-licence about, managed to get to the front row and to ’stroke’ Josh Lewsey as he passed by), a reception at the Palace, and an open-top ticker-tape parade through The Strand and Trafalgar Square.

1. It lasts longer

If you love watching sport, you want to watch it for as long as possible, right? Football gives you 90minutes. That’s it. While it may make for a couple of drinks down the pub, you can’t use a footie match as an excuse to laze in front of the TV for up to five hot summer days instead of ironing or redecorating the downstairs loo.

2. There’s more of it

Ok, so Kevin Pietersen may have

When Liverpool beat Derby 6-0 in the FA Premier League on Saturday, it put me in mind of the raft of predictable football headlines that accompany big-scoring wins.

Should a team win while scoring 5 goals, the easy headline is …read more

Foosball matters. It can win you respect or condemn you to derision. It is played in bars in front of friends and onlookers. Dummy a shot with the left-hand striker only to power in a clinical finish with the right-hand man to emerge victorious and you are a hero to your friends and look good to the ladies… read more

Golf is the most global sport. It is played in nearly every country in the world; its professional tournaments are contended in every continent and, unlike soccer, the Americans are pretty darn good at it. This makes for the highest profile intercontinental competition of all - the Ryder cup - whose power over the emotions of millions of transatlantic spectators is so great that it constitutes the only fortnight in a two-and-a-half year cycle that all Britons are happy to call themselves ‘European‘. Its so linked to a global view, in fact, that holidays are often built around it and even travel insurance is available which gives you a cash payout for a hole-in-one.

Which is why it is a shame that the USA hosts three of the world’s four golf majors…read more

Croquet is the quintessential upper-class English summer sport. It is the reserve of the well-spoken, wealthy gentlemen of London and the Home Counties. And it needs to remain so.

Don’t get me wrong, Croquet is a fantastic game. It looks beautiful, strictly laid out on an immaculate lawn, coloured balls dancing through elegant white hoops, white trousers and collared shirts betraying its ancient English heritage. It goes so well with sunshine, barbeques and Pimm’s summer cocktails…read more
