Bad losers?
The hardest lesson to learn in sport is how to lose with dignity, without blaming your defeat on the referees or refusing
to shake hands with your opponent. Here are some famous moments when losing was just too hard ...
In 1981 at Wimbledon a young John McEnroe was serving. The umpire said that his serve was out, but McEnroe
thought it was in. He became furious and shouted 'You CANNOT be serious!' at the umpire. He also called the umpire
'an incompetent fool!'
In the 2003 Athletics World Championship the 100 metres runner, Jon Drummond, was disqualified for a false start.
Drummond lay down on the track and began to cry. Two hours later his coach told journalists: 'He's still crying. We're
making him drink water because he's becoming dehydrated.'
In the 1982 German Grand Prix Nelson Piquet was winning the race. He was trying to pass Eliseo Salazar (who was
last in the race), but Salazar didn't let him go past him and Piquet crashed into Salazar. Piquet jumped out of his car
and started trying to hit and kick Salazar (without much success!).
South Korean footballer Ahn jung-Hwan scored the goal that sent Italy out of the 2002 World Cup when they beat
them 2- 1. But Jung-Hwan also played for the Italian football club Perugia. After the match the president of the club,
Luciano Gaucci. announced that the player's contract would not be renewed. 'That gentleman will never set foot in
Perugia again,' Gaucci said. 'I have no intention of paying a salary to somebody who has ruined Italian football.'
Gaucci later apologized, but Ahn Jung-Hwan left the club and never went back to an Italian club.
When England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003 by beating Australia in the last minute of the match, the Australian
Prime minister. John Howard. was so angry that in the medals ceremony he almost threw the medals at the English
players. His behaviour was described by a journalist as being 'like an unhappy five-year-old at a birthday party who
starts throwing toys around.'
