I'd rewrite that to say that men's boxing and football always seem so arrogant and cocksure unlike any other sport (maybe a few in men's 100m).

If Yorkshire were a country they would not have any medallists, they would have been too tight to invest in "all that running around"

Fair play to the lass. She fought beautifully.

Is it too early to start saying "If Leeds was a country we'd be higher up the medal table than *pick your choice of minor country* " ?
