Sport
2014 brought a resurgence in sporting enthusiasm with the greatly anticipated Winter Olympics in Sochi as well as the FIFA world cup. In July, the eyes of the world turned on the UK for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which saw representatives from the UK win a hoard of medals and England finish top of the league table. Sport is not just about the winning; it is also big business in the UK, with prominent television channels battling to win coverage deals, and sponsorship now a key feature of all main sporting events. The Debrett’s list reflects both the personalities, pundits and administrators behind British sporting achievement.
