Reckon we're too full of real ale and roast tatties to excel at sport? Think again. In the 2012 London Olympics, Yorkshire athletes won more medals than entire countries such as Spain and South Africa, meaning that Yorkshire would have come twelfth in the overall medals table if those athletes from the rest of the UK hadn't dragged us down to their level. Don't worry, we're not annoyed, but we would ask that you start to put a bit more practice in or else we'll be forced to declare ourselves a republic and triumph alone.
