114 extra time: sport tom watt ON WOmen’s tennis, riding in london’s parkland and a kenyan olympic champion the knowledge London is famous for its elegant parkland, but arguably its fi nest, and largest, is Richmond Park to the west of the city. More open country than a park, its lush grassland and leafy woodlands were once the hunting ground of King Henry VIII. A deer park was created here after Charles I decamped to Richmond Palace to escape the plague in 1625. It’s a splendid and richly historical place, then, for visitors to enjoy the great outdoors just half an hour from central London. the athlete London 2012 was an Olympics to remember, not t least as the stage for what’s been recognised as s the greatest 800 metre final of all time. Kenya’s David Rudisha (right) won a race which took our r breath away: he became the first man ever to run un below 1:41 and, in so doing, broke his own world record on the way to the gold medal. Sebastian Coe described it as ‘the performance nce of the Games’. Olympic organiser Lord Coe would d know; he held the 800m world record for 16 years. ars. Rudisha was born in Kenya’s Trans Mara District, t, some four hours west of Nairobi, in Kilgoris. Running nning november 2012 is in his blood – his father, Daniel, won silver silv at the 1968 Games in Mexico. Rudisha R went to school in Iten, in the heart h of the Great Rift Valley, where he h still trains alongside many of the world’s elite e distance runners at the Kipchoge Keino High Hig Performance training camp. the ticket The Riding Club London offers a concierge service for those wishing to ride during their stay in the city, providing horses, expert tuition and specially tailored experiences. Whether you’re a beginner looking for lessons, an experienced rider seeking a day’s hunting or a crack polo player looking for some competition, the Riding Club can arrange a day to suit your needs and skills. But it’s hard to top an afternoon out in the fresh air on a crisp autumn day, viewing the world over the top of a pair of alert ears. And in Richmond Park you can ride on ancient bridleways once loved – and still enjoyed – by kings and queens.

And if you’re lucky enough to be there this month, make sure you find time to fit in a visit to the O2 Arena on 3 and 4 November. The Fed Cup, first played in 1963, is to women’s tennis what the Davis Cup is to the men’s game: a chance for the very best in an individualistic sport to come together to compete in an elite world team tournament. This year’s final sees last year’s winners, the Czech Republic, take on Serbia. Home advantage may make the Czechs favourites to follow up on their 3-2 victory over Russia in the final in Moscow last year. It’s Serbia’s first appearance at this stage in the competition, but should Jelena Jankovic turn in the kind of performances that saw her ranked No. 1 in the world a few years ago, a packed and raucous arena in Prague may yet witness her nation famously upsetting the odds. fedcup.com FLY TO nairobi THREE times weekly; prague three times daily; london four times daily; brusselsairlines.com GETTY IMAGES
