Sporting Moments of 2008

As is now the tradition at this time of year, my pick of the sporting moments of the year will be published here.

Two years ago, my picks were Caitlin McLatchey's Commonwealth Gold, St Mirren winning the Scottish League Championship, England's loss to Portugal in the World Cup, Scotland's Euro 2008 qualifying win over France and England's crushing defeat in the second Ashes Test in Australia.

Last year, my picks were equally diverse, Irelands fantastic win over Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup, Christine Ohuruogu's controversial world championship win over 400 metres, Argentina's win over France in the opening match of the Rugby (Union) World Cup and the matches which saw both Scotland and England eliminated from the European Championship.

This years choices are equally diverse, and was incredibly tough to choose. 2008 was a great year in sport, let alone British sport.
