Was just discussing with rogg in the dart board.

Bristow spurned a shot at bull in the 83 world final to allow dellar in for the 138.

Can anyone think of a bigger sporting cock up?

Bang in front of the posts to win the cup, this is a nightmare in 1968. Conditions were horrendous and at least the lad attacked it which is more than you can say for Bristow.

Golf has had some bad ones.

The guy who needed to hole a 2 ft putt to win the 1989 masters and missed, and the guy who needed to finish with a double bogey or better on the 18th to win the 1999 open and had a triple. Those are the two worst i remember.

His walkout against Hendry was more peculiar.

The time australia won a gold in ice skating by everyone else in the semi final AND the final crashing is a pretty funny group brain melt.

Serenas meltdown at the umpire in the 2018 us open final was gripping, even if the tennis wasnt.

Steven Bradbury.

Short Track Speed Skating at 2002 Olympics. Stupid sport, he knew he was slower than the others so deliberately kept well back and hoped at least a couple fell so he could 'win' a medal.

It was actually Australia's first ever Winter Olympics Gold too. Although Alisa Camplin won a legitimate one a few days later.
