Are Scottish People Any Good At Sports?

hey the name is chensey im 16 and im from Geelong Australia
i believe that autralia has some of the best sports women and men in the world and when i think of scotland no one comes to mind as a star athelite .com on scotland produce a star in any sport so long that every one in the world knows there name .
If any one can name one scottish person that is a star at a sport that i have heard of before i will send $100
this is no joke because i know i will not loose!
But if some one does come up with it i will put the money in there bank or send it to them.
The reason i have gooten on this site is because my sister lives in scotland and is getting married in June nad i am hopeing so much that i can go over for the wedding ,figers crossed.
cant wait to hear from anyone and to pay $100

It's not very polite to come onto a website and make one of your first posts such a confrontational one.

What's the difference between an Australian and a Jumbo Jet?
The Jumbo Jet stops whining when it lands at Heathrow!

Welcome anyway Crowshole - hope you enjoy losing your bet once the sports fans see this thread
