Who is your favourite sportsman/woman? ¿Quién es tu deportista/atleta favorito?

Question

Do you have a favourite sporstman or woman, any nationality?

My favourite is Rafael Nadal

Rafa as he is called by everybody is the Spanish tennis player, number one for some time and he got my vote for being such a nice guy too, not nesessarily combined in one person all the time. I once saw him play...and he lost against an absolute nobody....shocking. I don't mind, everybody here loves Rafa.

¡Vamos, Rafa!

that's what people shout when they see him play

¿Tenéis deportista, futbolista, atleta favorito? ¿Le habéis visto jugar, correr etc.? Contad algo....

Answer 1

Does the athlete have to be spanish?

Since basketball is my sport, Tracy McGrady was my favorite while he played for the Orlando Magic. Now, I really like Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant.

Answer 3

At this moment in time it is Wayne Rooney, he sacrificed his game for Christiano Ronaldo but watch him go this season I predict that he could finish as the premiership top scorer. Regards Ken.

Answer 4

Last week it was Tiger Woods, however, since learning about Hilary Lester, she has to be my favoutite sportswoman. This female quadriplegic is the first of her sex to sail solo round the United Kingdom. It took her three months and she controlled her 20 foot yacht by blowing through straws.
