Nevertheless, h the ending may have been harsh, it f the future of sport. Speaking of the fending off a top-level US team and Bolt and former World Champion Yohan Blake running for Jamaica. The British 4x100 women's team also picked up an impressive silver medal, with all four sprinters putting in a fantastic performance to beat the Jamaican team (which contained 6 time Olympic medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce). Golf The big story from the golf world this year was Sergio Garcia, an 18- year veteran of the golf majors, who finally won the Masters after 73 failed attempts at winning a major. Although he finished in the top 10 of 22 of those 73, he never quite sealed the deal. Nevertheless, he persevered and finally got the big championship win on the birthday of his personal hero and golf legend Seve Ballesteros. Cycling Chris Froome continued his dominance of the Tour De France, picking up his fourth win in one of the toughest and most iconic courses out there. However, in the post-Armstrong age where doping scepticism is at an all-time high questions have again resurfaced about whether the Team Sky rider is taking performance-enhancing drugs; this would explain how Froome is always able to bounce back from any setbacks he experiences. This year did see him face more setbacks than usual though, as Froome lost his lead of the race after Stage 12 of 22 to Italian rider Fabian Aru, although the Brit regained the Yellow Jersey two stages later. Beyond Froome, fellow Brit Simon Yates won the White Jersey (awarded to the best performing cyclist under 26) following in the footstep of his twin brother Adam who won it in 2016. Tennis Although Andy Murray held the number one spot in the world rankings for eight months, the Scot didn’t make it further than the semi-finals of any of the major opens, leaving the two-time Wimbledon winner with a disappointing year. Instead, 2017 proved to be the year of Johanna Konta, who managed to make the semi-finals of Wimbledon, win the Miami Open and beat World Number 1 Angela Kerber. With Murray, Konta and youth prospects such as Kyle Edmund on the rise, a new golden age of British tennis might just be on its way. Rugby The annual Six Nations tournament came around again this year. Reigning champions England were the team to lift the trophy, but they were denied the Grand Slam as Ireland beat them in the final game: Jonathan Sexton, who successfully scored two penalties and one conversion won Ireland the game. Wales had a very poor tournament, only coming fifth ahead of Italy, a team who have come last in the tournament 66% of the time. The England Women’s Rugby Team also had a very successful year, reaching the final of the world cup in aim of retaining the crown they won three years ago. Unfortunately, they eventually lost to New Zealand 41-32 in the final. Formula 1 After losing to Nico Rosberg last year, Lewis Hamilton won race after race, ending the season as the most successful British driver of all time. This year the main competition was not coming from a Mercedes teammate as per usual: Valtteri Bottas had a good season, but didn’t do quite well enough to be a serious title contender. A Ferrari resurgence, however, especially from Sebastian Vettel, gave Hamilton fierce competition for much of the season. pionships, the men’s 4x100 relay team ing gold in a strongly contested field,
