Kelly Slater has just won his 11th world title. Has anyone else won as many, in any sport? I can only think of maybe Tiger Woods and Schumacher who have more than a handful, but there must be plenty more.

What other great or lame/obscure titles are out there and who's the daddy?

Not quite the same in numerical terms of world champs but Ben Ainsle has dominated his class Since 2004 but held an Olympic gold since 2000. Pre dating that is a silver at Atlanta in '96. He will be there again next year.

Others include Sir Steve Redgrave maybe but also that darts guy springs to mind.

On Slater, I started surfing back in 94 as a 13 yr old and remember him being world champ then. Pretty impressive to still be doing it at that level after all that time 21 yrs as a pro.

They're are probably a few other golfers with decent stats.

Sebastian Loeb has just won his 8th World Championship in Rallying, makes him the most successful in Motorsport.
Kelly Slater is a legend. Must be some sports with more?

Sir Donald Bradman dominated cricket when he played. his batting average was 99.94.

Next closest is about 66 I think.

Indeed many of these athletes are great. It seems that the more niche the sport/arena the greater the potential for greatness/longevity. Some athletes like Burton might never be beaten or for that matter Merckx etc. Good call all, keep them coming.

Ed Moses kept winning for years. Olympics every 4 years, one that USA didn't go to and no world championships in his day.

(Saw him recently and looks like he could still run sub 50secs)

I'm an Armstrong fan but he hasn't dominated his sport. he dominated the TdF for a period, but that's not the sport, and if he'd competed in the other classics and grand tours (as opposed to using them for build up) I doubt he'd have the same TdF record.

I think Usain Bolt currently. He beats everyone the rest of the field by 3-5% consistently (up to half a second in many races), which is a huge amount at that level. If he dominated a longer event to the same extent, like say the marathon, that'd be beating everyone by 5 minutes which is close on a mile. It's just because it's a short race they even get in the same freeze frame

tour de France is cycling as far as most of the world is concerned. like schmacher and formula 1. There are other types of car racing, but who cares?

edit. meant to add, if you ask most people "name a cyclist" who are they going to say?

Beryl Burton. 25 consecutive British Best All Rounder titles, '59-'83.
Fourteen World Champs medals over 30 years, including seven golds.
Jeannie Longo has had similar longevity, and is still riding.

i think almost all sports have someone in the history who was ahead a the curve in ability. What you tend to see a lot is the best dont get worse its just everyone else catches up and thus the bar is raised. You also see points in history where two people come along at the same time and no one else can get close. If Federer and Nadal had careers at different times they would of both picked up a lot more titles.

Motorsport - Carlos Saintz, Shuey, Loeb, Rossi
Tennis - Borg, Federer, Nadal, McEnroe
Golf - Woods, Nicholaus
Snooker - Hendry, Davis,
Darts - Phil 'The Power' Taylor

Another vote for Jahangir Khan - he won the British Open for 10 consecutive years, and for a 5 year period he was undefeated in any match, anywhere – winning over 550 matches on the trot. For such a physically demanding sport that is truly amazing.

Agreed, especially when they played it was a very 'traditional' way of playing based on outrageous levels of fitness. How he kept his body together for that long is shocking.

Also 6 World Champ titles, and runner up 3 times on top.

Jansher's record doesn't read too bad either. 8 World Championships, 1 runner up, 6 British Open titles, 3 runners up, over 6 years as the World number one.

They truely dominated that era of squash between them. Personally I prefer Jansher, as he showed the ability to adapt,when the game started evolving to a more 'modern' attacking style, he went back to the drawing board & completely changed the way he played making the transformation into an incredible attacking player, but with the underpinnings of a huge base of fitness, he really became the complete squash player.

I had the privilege (or experience) of playing him a long time ago, as a highly ranked junior I had previously been able to hold my own against most players, but I was comprehensively torn a new one. Very humbling.

Darts - Phil 'The Power' Taylor

I thought that we were taling about sports...

Another vote for Jahangir Khan

and the amazing thing, reading his wiki page, is that he was a sickly child!

"Ironically, during his earlier years, Jahangir was a sickly child and physically very weak. Though the doctors had advised him not to take part in any sort physical activity, after undergoing a couple of hernia operations his father let him play and try out their family game.

In 1979, the ****stan selectors decided not to select Jahangir to play in the world championships in Australia, judging him too weak from a recent illness. Jahangir decided instead to enter himself in the World Amateur Individual Championship and, at the age of 15, became the youngest-ever winner of that event."

"an unbeaten run which lasted for five years and 555 matches"

"In 1982, Jahangir astonished everyone by winning the International Squash Players Association Championship without losing a single point."

I am not a squash player but he, and Jansher, were fascinating to watch due to their fantastic court skills as well as fitness, a bit like watching McEnroe verses his peers.

The Klitschko brothers.
They have been so dominant over the heavyweight division since Lennox Lewis retired.
I cant think of any of boxer or any other sportsperson who has dominated for so long.

Athletics i would say Ed Moses basically you just could not beat him and everyone knew it and yet he was/is still very humble - heard him interviewed recently and he said the records did not matter to him just doing his best was all he aimed to do.
Cycling most would have Armstrong a proper cyclists would say Merckx IMHO

Surely Daley Thompson deserves a mention - Thompson's rivalry with West German athlete Jürgen Hingsen was legendary in the sport throughout the 1980s. The pair consistently traded world records, but Thompson always had the upper hand in the major events, remaining undefeated in all competitions for nine years between 1979 and 1987.
the klitschko brothers have dominated a poor era for heavweights so cannot be taken seriously - imagine them against some of the greatest - do you really think they stand a chance against ali, Foreman or Frazier in their prime?

too many people poke fun at Eddie "the Eagle" 🙁

there was a quote from either graham or martin bell in a ski magazine about eddie - when asked about eddie he just said "balls of steel".

He was a near olympic standard downhill racer who changed to ski jumping at a very late stage - way after all those other guys had learnt when they were kids without comprehension of fear. To progress up to full sized jumps at the speed he did was very unusual.

He also had to jump with his thick glasses on, which would steam up and gave him very limited visibility during the jumps.

Plus he had a lack of training facilities compared to the other competitors - anyone see that bodged up wooden frame thing he would use in his garden to practise the transition to the jump position?

he deserves a lot of respect.

.... Heavyweight boxing is only said to be in a poor condition purely because they are dominating so clearly over all other contenders.
The Ali - Frazier - Foreman era was said to be the best simply because they were on an almost level par.
If Ali could have dominated then the opposition would have been classed as poor ...but because he struggled and this made for exciting fights ..
The Klitschko brothers have been too good for their own good. They have made their opposition look bad.

And as for questioning a Klitschko agains Ali, Frazier or Foreman??
All these guys were no bigger than 15stone at their best ... by modern standards of heavyweight, that is very small.
Ali was knocked down by a thirtenn stone guy in Henry Cooper .. Ali struggled against big guys like Norton .. A 6foot 7inch guy with a sledgehammer punch weighing 18stone would have bowled over the peak Ali, Frazier and Foremans very easilly.

You cant compare past sportsmen to todays....especially in boxing.

The trouble is so many sports have so many sub-disciplines it is difficult to dominate an entire sport. Redgrave for example, won Olympic golds in particular versions of rowing. Did he also dominate rowing world champs?

Lewis beat him ok it was a TKO but he said

So, when it came time for me to see if I should fight Klitschko again, I thought - at my worst, at my worst! I beat Klitschko and look what I did to his face! I was at my worst - just think [what would’ve happened] if I’d trained just a little bit harder. I didn’t need to fight him again."

Not even the best of the recent era at heavyweight nor even boxing never mind all time.
Manny Pacquiao is far superior and Joe Calzaghe is massively underrated IMHO.

Calzaghe and Lewis are two of the most overrated boxers ever, both fought in an era of washed up fighters and and has beens. Plus, they were awful to watch. Tyson dominated from around 84 to his first loss of the title, and was magnificent to watch. Dominating a sport and being a great athlete can be too mutually exclusive things.

Bjoern Dunkerbeck. One the overall windsurfing world title 12 years running and has accumulated somewhere between 35 and 40 discipline world titles in windsurfing. One of the few people to win Racing and wave titles in the same year and if I remember correctly he even won the freestyle world title the first year of the discipline!

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Our Paula.

[img] [/img]

The greatest female marathon runner in history. Has won a countless number of races. Holds the WR which is almost 3 minutes faster than the next best time. Has won several races in a faster time than any other woman has ever run.

And is so fast she can stop for a 'comfort break' and still win the race.

Now that [i]is[/i] taking the pee....

No it's not. She's still a more accomplished and successful athlete than the Olympic champions. They know it too. How can you say her record is 'let down'? That's just nonsense. She doesn't need to win the Lympics to prove her greatness, that's how great she actually is.

[img] [/img]

Even without pacesetters she still managed 2hr17'42". That fact that she completely eclipses loads of other great athletes just cements her position as one of sport's true greats.

Joey Dunlop. Totally dominated the IOM TT from 1977 - 2000, 26 TT wins inc a win in 2000 aged 48. I had the honour of meeting him at a small local race and was the most humble and modest superstar. A true legend

She's still a more accomplished and successful athlete than the Olympic champions.

So why hasn't she won one then? This thread is about people who've dominated their sport, and clearly a failure to win an Olympic medal (along with only one victory in a global championship) suggests she hasn't done that.

If you're after a distance runner who's dominated, Haile Gebrselassie is a far better candidate.

Well I've enjoyed reading this thread and finding out about sportsmen & women that I'd never heard of. I love stories of great sporting deeds and legacies. I'm still to be convinced that anyone dominated more than Bradman though, statistically he's head and shoulders above everyone else.

So why hasn't she won one then?

Sigh...

Radcliffe did not compete in the London Marathon in 2004, but was the favourite to win a gold medal in the marathon at the Olympic Games in Athens. However, s[b]he suffered an injury to her leg just two weeks prior to the event[/b] and had to use a high dose of anti-inflammatory drugs. This had an adverse effect on her stomach hindering food absorption. She ended up withdrawing from the race after 36 km. Five days later she started in the 10,000 metres but, still suffering from the effects of the marathon, retired with eight laps remaining.

Radcliffe withdrew from the 2008 London Marathon due to a foot injury.[25] Shortly after the London Marathon, it was also revealed that Radcliffe was suffering from an injury to her hip, preventing her from running. Originally thought to be a muscular problem, scans later revealed it was a stress fracture to her femur. In May, Radcliffe broke her left leg.
Radcliffe managed to get to fitness level for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but cramped during the marathon to the point where she had to stop running and stretch. She resumed the race and finished in 23rd place overall.

From her Wiki page.

So, injury set her back both times. Had she not have suffered such bad luck, then I don't think you'd be sitting there typing silliness on tinternet. You'd be quiet as you'd have no argument. As it is, you're now educated a bit more so you don't need to say silly things any more. 🙂

The question was 'who has dominated their sport to the greatest extent?'. Paula is the greatest female marathon runner in history. FACT.

Haile Gabrisellassie I is her male equivalent for sure. Fantastic runner and a proper joy to watch in't marathon; he always acknowledges the crowds and is also deservedly a true great.

And you are right, Bjorn Dunkerbeck!!! Surely a hero.

And IIRC he's been to Weymouth Speed week on many occasions and bought the beers too.

Is there a time limit as such? I mean Steve Davis in the 80s, hendry in th 90s, higgins in 00s, joe davis earlier - or doesn't snooker count?

My rose tinited spectacles has Coe\Cram\Ovett owning middle distance in the 80s, not sure if one of them dominated outright though?

+1 for Steffi for dominating and not taking the steriods...

Nadals run hasn't been long enough - he just counts as one of those guys that forces everyone else to 'step-up' - witness Djokovic who did step up and then was unbeaten for a near record-breaking period.

I'm with Aracer on the Paula Radcliffe thing. The minute she is getting beaten she often drops out and doesn't finish!

Nadal works with Dr Fuentes admittedly not found guilty but he must be on 'roids.

Merckx.... as already mentioned Lance only dominated in TdF! Yes he won a World Champs but that was pre-drugs (!!!!).

Jeannie Longo legend!

If Phillipe Gilbert carries on (and doesn't test positive) he could become a legend..

How about Mark Cavendish?

He is dominant now in sprinting, and very successful, but in historical terms? In the sport overall?
