I realise that I am among the greatest examples of human endeavour when posting on these hello'ed pages so it occurred to me there might be some retired or retarded great sportsmen and women.
I know modesty plays its part but at the end of the day we are all friends (except for those who hate each other).
So who is the gold medallist?
I am a high achiever in the 'doing fuck all" major league. I am very proud of this although have not as yet been awarded a medal. I hate medals.
I like gold though.
My prediction is there is a world class rugger player in here who just wanted an easy life. I doubt they will admit to it but this is the opportunity to get it of your (rather prodigious if you are a rugger player) chest.
Post anonymously if it helps.
Ta.

I hold the gliding club height record.
As in there is no-one else above 6’ 4” in the club.
Or maybe it was the 28,534 feet?

I probably have the TB record for long distance walking (2000 miles) and height reached while keeping my feet on the ground (just under 23000 ft).

Someone will have summited everest. Do es Yr Wyddfa count? Via Crib Goch and return via Llwydd, which I have been up the steep way too. Other than that, highest I've walked is a 2.2k MTR lump in the Sierra Nevada. |

I once had a 'sixer'.
It was a very long time ago.
Of course in it's seventh conker fight it shattered and my career as a conker master was over.
It was a bitter pill for a seven year old to take.
