11. Underdogs and Unbeaten Streaks

The Question of Sport Podcast

Available for over a year

A show all about winners: those who've won against the odds and those who have dominated their sports with incredible unbeaten streaks. Regulars Gareth Edwards, Michael Bryan-Jones and Miriam Walker-Khan each pick one of each and host Sam Quek picks her favourites. Outsiders include the Greek national football team's victory at the European Championships, a golfer who came from nowhere to win the 2004 Open Championship and tennis star Emma Raducanu's unexpected victory at the US Open in 2021. Plus winning streaks from a 400 metre hurdler and the greatest squash player ever, and an incredible unbeaten run from European football in the 1980s.
