Thats my point really. Some of the most memorable sporting moments are
not the ones one might expect to be remembered. I remember Radcliffes
failures rather than her successes whereas I remember Hoys successes
rather than his failures. Millars Olympic win was memorable, at the time
we didn't know he'd used a banned substance, his win was pretty
spectacular on the day. Armstrongs 6th Tour win will be forgotton,
Armstrong the athlete will not be (who remembers Indurains individual
wins ?), we will remember Millars Olympic debacle I am sure.
