Accountancy student Ed McKeever deserves the plaudits however, being the fastest man in the world over two-hundred metres in a small one-man boat, proved by his Gold medal win in the K1 200m event at the Olympics, as well as his victory in three events at the Canoe Sprint World Cup in Poland, an event somewhat overshadowed by the nations hosting of footballs Euro 2012 around the same time. Though not Britains only success in the world of canoeing and kayaking in 2012, McKeever seems the most likely of the group to continue dominating the world for the next few years. 23. Judd Trump
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mll0e1Kfq0 Sport - Snooker Snooker is a tough game for youngsters to break into, as the lack of physical exertion required means that many players can continue playing in the upper echelons of the game for many years, if not across multiple decades, as the likes of John Higgins, Mark Williams and Ronnie OSullivan have done. Despite this, there has been an influx of new players over the last few years, chief amongst them Judd Trump, who has rapidly risen through the world rankings, usurping Mark Selby from the position of world number one after a victory over Australian player (and current Masters champion) Neil Robertson at the International Championship. Though Selby took back his crown five weeks later with victory at the UK championship, Trump's ascension through the rankings in his brief career so far has been nothing short of phenomenal, with his International Championship win supplemented by a win in the Bulgarian open and second-place finishes in the Shanghai Masters and Premier League Snooker tournament, the latter being an invitation event exclusive to the worlds finest players. Given his talent and potential, Trump could well be held in the same sort of regard as the likes of Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry some day.
