Except in sports which are popular world wide. That kind of means you have far more competition.
Just not to a world popular sport.
Surely you jest?
Cycling was present at the very first Olympics and has been present at almost every Olympics since then.
British riders won medals in the very first Olympics.
What is wrong with you lot ??
It's officially a sanctioned professional sport I don't make the rules or authorise and sanction what is or isn't a sport .
It's a professional sport end of ....
No. It's a sport; it's in the Olympics.
Which body sanctioned darts as a sport then?

One of many spelling mistakes and typing errors in the article. Very poor indeed.

It may be a sanctioned sport, that however doesn't make it comparable with sports that are far bigger in world wide popularity and participation rates.
Those sports are far harder to reach the top of and sustain dominance due to far, far, far more competition.

Typical Aussie, your man (Simon Whitlock) gets thrashed 5-1 last night and Darts no longer a Worldwide sport !!!
I am staggered that Paul Barber's efforts have not been recognised by Her Maj. Once again it's one rule for Lycra clad two wheeled mods and another for revenue maximising sports administrators.
Windsors out, vive Le Republique.

It's clearly Barber's fault some drunkard pub game player didn't get a knighthood.
No relevance

Plenty of relevance.
It's why if you win one Tour de France you'll be a billion times more recognizable and respected than if you win 15 dart championships.

That doesn't mean Taylor has not dedicated himself any less in his efforts to stay top of the field for 20 years and why should he not take credit for making the game more popular .
Cycling as a sport was less popular in this country before Chris H
Judo until Brian Jacks
All I'm saying is that he should be recognised for his achievements based on some who already have them LOUIS SMITH !!!!

Never seen or heard of him. Must be up there with the syncronised swimming team in popularity.
Actually no, wait, they are far more popular...

I'm not saying Bradley or Chris shouldn't be recognised ,
Your lack of appreciation for sport overall is lacking
