And the winner is .......

Magnificent sporting weekend just gone!  Truly magnificent.  Even more so as a South African sports fanatic - it was



The Proteas and specifically Hashim Amla, broke records, raised the bar and beautifully gave the English team a batting lesson or 3.  A TRIPLE century, South Africa's first ever!  What a man.  Today commences the bowling lesson!






The Big Easy fabulously won his first major since 2007. Bogeys and Birdies galore! Well done Ernie, we've missed you.






Richard Murray stormed ahead to win the ITU Hamburg Triathlon ahead of one of his hero's Javier Gomez.  Oh the proud and wonderful sounds of Nkosi Sikelel 'iAfrika piping out in Germany!




Bradley Wiggans and the Sky Team storming into Paris after winning the Tour de France and watching Cav's "Manx Missile" perfection grabbing the last victory on the Champs Elysees.






Three great riders on the podium and one of them, Christopher Froome, born Kenyan & South African educated (so yes, we're claiming him) - 2nd place winner.  WOW!








And all this just one week before the start of the greatest sporting spectacle on earth!  Olympics 2012! What a sporting year.


........... in the sunshine.  I approve.
