World Sporting Florida

[Salopian]

I see the British competitors had a bit of good luck in Florida !

Who is G.Digweed ? Never heard of him, he seems to have come from nowhere, is he any good?

I have heard of Bunning , Faulds,  Hendrick & Solomons  , they are quite young men, but apparently this G. Digweed chap is knocking on a bit now.

Just when you think George is maybe cresting the hill.. A win by a frankly huge margin, which appears to have come from a big score on the hardest part of the whole thing. The legend continues..

Its a shame that a man that has won so much and been awarded a MBE hasnt felt the need or want ever represent his country.

You can only represent your country if you go to all the selection shoots. Some people may not have the time to do this.

George's ISSF record shows that he shot for GBR on 15 occasions.

​He actually has represented his country, quite a lot actually.

[Doctor Lecter]

massive result for George  he is a legend ,  he really is  unique  .

 

[Jim Wheeler]

• the fact that George has now won 24 worlds,,is enough to make him a legend.

he is also an Englishman, and as such,whatever he achieves  ,he represents England, (UK) whether in a `team`  or as an individual, good on George,

​Quite true, we normally rely on the BBC for news coverage of our sport but perhaps they have been preoccupied with Clarkson !
