Monday, July 3, 2000 - Tennis star Anna Kournikova and her doubles partner covered their eyes as a streaker ran onto the court during their Wimbledon match.
Mark Roberts, 35, from Liverpool, had the words “Only the balls should bounce” - a cheeky corruption of the slogan from the Russian player’s sports bra adverts - written on his chest.
He jumped over the net, did a forward roll onto the grass and ran around the court for 90 seconds while the embarrassed players covered their eyes.
The streaker was bad news for bookmakers William Hill, however, who had given odds of 2-1 that there would be one during a Kournikova match.
A spokesman said: “It looks like we will lose our shirt along with him.”
This poor guy gets smashed at a cricket match by a popular Australian cricket player. Here is an exert about the event:
Australia’s Andrew Symonds turned from all-rounder to security heavy as he decked a streaker during the second one-day final against India in Brisbane. Symonds was at the crease in the 10th over of Australia’s reply as the man ran onto the pitch. But as the streaker attempted to evade chasing police he instead took a shoulder barge from Symonds at the non-striker’s end.
Symonds could face a serious punishment if the International Cricket Council decides that he breached section 4.2 of the player’s code of conduct relating to a physical assault of a rival player, an official or a spectator.
The sanction for that is a suspension from five test matches or 10 limited-overs internationals - or even a life ban. Following the match, however, a Cricket Australia official indicated Symonds was “unlikely” to be reprimanded.
The 26-year-old Brisbane man who bore the brunt of Symond’s shoulder barge was held overnight in a Queensland police station. He was reportedly unhurt by the incident. Greg Chappell, a former Australian captain, escaped a fine for hitting a streaker on the buttocks with a bat during a match in Auckland, New Zealand in 1976.
This is the worst hit ever by a large linebacker. Let that be a lesson to you streakers out there: don’t forget your cleats and pay attention - you might need to dodge someone out there.
Came across this video on YouTube and I couldn’t stop laughing. This is every serial streakers dream: outmaneuver the officials and come back for seconds.
Hey its like the numa numa lip sync, except its a dance sync. This guy sure has the moves, maybe he could have danced more on top of the gas pump, holding the nozzle and spraying gas everywhere. Then light it on fire, what a dance that would have been.
This guy takes streaking to the next level. It was a good idea he went after the horses, otherwise it would have been like running with the bulls. This event was at York Racecourse in England infront of 20,000 people. Good on ya chap!
It would appear that streakers are everywhere - even in a Blizzard. Wow, i’ve been out and about naked some cold nights, but not when snow is blowing up your a**. Hey, how about a couple more laps around the reporter buddy!
