far from underwhelming, it's an amazing and super human feat.
unfortunately it never ceases to amaze me that the most demanding, spectacular and popular yearly sporting event in the world passes most people in the UK by.
i smiled wryly to myself recently when i overheard someone referring to Wimbledon as the ultimate sporting event, i thought knocking a ball around for a few minutes and then having a bit of a sit down is not exactly a week in the alps.
as Armstrong said: "its like running a marathon, palying chess and driving nascar all at the same time"
