even before 2022 began, this looked an extraordinary year. a sporting calendar still catching up, rebuilt and rescheduled after being ravaged by covid. but as the new year began, the australian open reopened the debate. you shouldn't be allowed to come. it's his choice not to be vaccinated, which is fine. and it's i think the government here has made the choice that, you know, you should be vaccinated. i support the freedom of choice. and novak is the symbol of freedom of choice at this particular moment. we have someone that's come i from overseas and all of a sudden he's been exempt and can play. and i think it's- an absolute disgrace. and i won't be watching it. january was melbourne and the will he, won't he saga of novak djokovic.

visas granted and then denied, quarantined and then released welcomed and then deported a row in the background. a racket in the foreground, one case in court. other players eventually on court. rafa nadal and ash barty both making their own moves. a tumultuous year in rugby union began with the six nations murrayfield in february. a chilling prospect. and scotland spring to life! rugby to warm scottish hearts. a victory over the old enemy. and murrayfield erupts in celebration! fireworks too, in cardiff. astonishingly, the celebrations were italian. what a moment of brilliance! what a try! after seven years without a win in the tournament, it was just a little overdue. and that's what it means for the italians!

although just a side show. the long wait for the title will end tonight in paris. france, with this year's headline act. and it's antoine dupont for the try! france are crowned six nations champions again. england's women had their eyes on a rather larger prize, a world cup to come this year. still, this was a perfect warm up. england are the grand slam champions. warming up in beijing? well, perhaps not everyone, but this was about the snow and the ice. welcome to the olympic winter games, beijing 2022. having taken the figure skating world by storm. 15—year—old kamila valieva now found herself in the middle of one. the scandal, the pressure, the questions they look to have taken their toll. a doping scandal on a global stage and at its centre, a child. you can't help but feel that she shouldn't be out

there at all. a very difficult image to take in. amidst the controversy of beijing, there were other remarkable stories to be told. the redemption of lindsey jacobellis. 16 years after blowing her chance of glory, she returned to banish the ghost of olympics past. lindsey jacobellis finds redemption! for shaun white, also a finish only his was without the fairy tale. what a life, what a career and what a legacy to leave behind. and thank you, guys. thank you, snowboarding. you know, it's been my life. for team gb, they had to wait and wait. the stones eventually aligning to return a silverfor the men. and then finally glorious gold for the women. eve muirhead has finally done it at the fourth time of asking. following close behind across the rinks and down the slopes, the winter paralympics. neil simpson guided by his brother andrew, taking a super gold in the superg.

menna fitzpatrick was already a superstar of the british team. she returned with two medals, silver and bronze. that's despite covid forcing a late, late change in guide. in warmer climes, england's women had a cricket world cup to defend, something they'd never done before, and in truth, didn't look much like doing this year either, at least not after losing their opening three games, but then a reverse sweep. five consecutive wins saw them over the boundary and into the final. australia, though, were waiting. alyssa healy with a breathtaking record breaking innings, taking the total up and the title beyond england. the rocket, ronnie o'sullivan. at the crucible, a familiar side, but one that feels more impressive every time. ronnie o'sullivan, equalling stephen hendry�*s record of seven world snooker titles upsetting the odds at aintree, noble yates, a 50

to i winner in the national and a priceless final ride for amateur jockey sam wayley—cohen. a new chapter in the history of this grand old competition. huddersfield giants almost caused a surprise at the challenge cup final. that's before a dramatic late try won it for wigan. wigan, the challenge cup winners 2022. by may, club football was reaching its climax. it wasn't always certain. indeed, only in the last few minutes of the premier league season did things turn around and become clear. manchester cityjust seeing off liverpool for the title. premier league champions, again. liverpool had already won the league cup after a goalless draw, beating chelsea on penalties in the fa cup final, incredibly, it happened all over again. here's tsimikas. liverpool's joy!

they find a way, however it takes. chelsea did manage to win the women's fa cup final. sam kerr with the winner in extra time against manchester city. chelsea fa cup winners 2022! while celtic were the champions of scotland once more, it was their most bitter rivals that were having their day in the sun. rangers were in seville for a europa league final. it was quite a journey. we went denmark, denmark back to stansted, stansted then to morocco. and then we got boat through morocco open to caracas alongside gibraltar. and then we got a taxi up to where we stayed that year, although ultimately in vain. aaron ramsey missing the penalty. eintracht frankfurt, champions. just days later, rangers would win a trophy. here was ryanjack helping them towards the scottish cup. chelsea confirmed their dominance of english women's football. chelsea are wsl champions!

but as the season drew to a close, the chaos was just beginning. the champions league final should have been an occasion to relish. liverpool against real madrid in paris. but the scenes outside the stade de france were in equal measure, shocking and terrifying. fans held for hours in a bottleneck. others robbed and tear gassed. a report would later call the organisation, an abject failure. uefa would eventually apologise. liverpool lost the game, but many of their fans were left feeling events could very easily have been much, much worse. arriving in paris not too long after was denmark'sjonas vingegaard winner of the tour de france. 2022 summer of sport was as busy as many could remember. few events as dramatic as rugby union's premiership play

off leicester tigers, winning it with the season's final kick. a revitalised england were as daring as they were dazzling. baxter goes again. he's got all of that. a summer of test match triumphs over new zealand, india and south africa. there was a british winner at one of golf�*s majors. matt fitzpatrick was brilliant at brookline, winning the us open by a single stroke. but the year will be regarded as one of turmoil for the sport. cameron smith won the open at st andrews amidst talk of breakaways and rebellion. the last couple of years has really started to pay off and... ..this one definitely makes it worth it. he would become the biggest defector to the controversial liv tour as golf�*s crisis continues to deepen. away from those arguments at wimbledon, a moment of harmony. what a remarkable win for harmony tan.

it's the end of an era as serena williams begins to evolve away from tennis. what that means remains open for discussion. but much of the talking here was about the talking. what did i do? nick kyrgios didn't stop complaining all the way to the final. i can't even wear coloured trainers. there he was finally quietened by novak djokovic. history in the women's final ons jabeur, the first arab or north african woman to reach a grand slam final. she didn't, though, have quite enough for elena rybakina. over in oregon, the world athletics championship promise plenty hosted dominated by the united states. for team gb, it brought bronze. laura muir has done it again. a single silver and a glorious, glittering gold. gold forjake wightman, world champion!

if i finish my career having done nothing else, that this is a pretty proud thing that i can say. i've had a good career. jake wightman bringing home a world title whilst back at home football was coming. a year later than scheduled, it's finally here. the atmosphere inside old trafford is spine tingling. the lionesses will be aiming to turn dreams into a reality this summer. here we go. euro 2022 is on the way. it's a goal! it's been given. northern ireland's women the first time in a major. it's in, surely northern ireland have a goal in international competition for four years. northern ireland have been beaten and beaten well by norway.
