Sporting pictures of the Week :- 22 December

You have probably seen this photo during the week and rightly tried to block it out.  But, really, it is just so vulgar it needs to be recorded for prosperity.  And that urn getting worked over is just so tiny.

Mountain Bike World Championships in Cairns.

Oh Greg Norman; dressing up as Crocodile Dundee to celebrate Shark Week.

From the archives.  Miguel Angel Nadal poses with his nephew Rafael Nadal in the nineties.  Stay still Rafa.
