This perfect World Indoor Bowls shot is the most electrifying non-darts sports highlight in British history
By Greg Gottfried
It has the majesty of the best British sports, the calm demeanors of the Jeopardy GOAT competition and the spirit of a March Madness upset. How exactly Nick Brett made this once-in-a-lifetime shot against Scotland, we're not sure. His partner, Greg Harlow, gave him the right directions, but still...The angles. The speed. The spin. He only had "six inches between the two bowls." British sports at its best.
It all adds up to a miraculous moment, which is only exacerbated by the emotion of the crowd and announcers.
The duo went on to win the Open Pairs title at the Just World Indoor Bowls Championships 2020 and was promptly given a trophy that is essentially just a large blue cup.
