Will 2016 be forever remembered as the year of the underdog? Looking beyond the world of sport for a minute, it's a theme that has its merits - rightly or wrongly. The US election was won by a candidate that was long regarded as a joke, something echoed by Brexit, and sport was no different.
Take your pick of the biggest tournaments in the world and there has been a noticeable trend toward unfashionable nike cortez ultra australia , unfancied and unfathomable champions.
Let's start with the biggest of all: Leicester City. The Foxes were in relegation form in the 2014-15 season of the English Premier League under Nigel Pearson before a remarkable turnaround that saw them retain their status in England's top flight. A mere 12 months later they were the champions, and deservedly so, in a story that touched the hearts of many a sports romantic.
But Claudio Ranieri's unlikely champs were not the only ones that blew the minds of bookmakers and bloggers alike in defying reasonable expectation.
Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs ended the 71-year-old ""Curse of the Billy Goat"" and a 108-year wait for the World Series this year, while in the end to another of the curses so prevalent in US sports, the Cleveland Cavaliers lifted the NBA championship and in doing so ended the city's 52-year drought for a national champion in major sport. That they won thanks to LeBron James, one of the best players in the history of the NBA nike cortez nylon womens australia , hardly matters given the Cavs were up against a Golden State Warriors team that had just blown away a number of regular-season records and were defending champions.
Elsewhere, Chile beat Leo Messi's Argentina in the Copa America Centenario and while they had done the same thing the year before, this was even more unexpected than their 2015 victory on home soil. In Europe, Portugal won the European Championship against hosts France - and they did so without talisman Cristiano Ronaldo who urged them on from the sidelines after being injured. Elsewhere at Euro 2016, Wales and Iceland both defied pre-tournament predictions at the expense of the continent's giants.
Golf? Danny Willett, 29 nike cortez nylon australia , won the green jacket at the Masters. Tennis? The all-conquering Serena Williams was a rare second best to Angelique Kerber at January's US Open. Rugby? Ireland put a stop to the All Blacks, and with it their incredible record of consecutive wins, and in Australia the Cronulla Sharks became NRL champs for the first time. Aussie Rules? Western Bulldogs won for the first time since 1954. Heck, there was even a refugee team at the Rio Olympics.
But, much like some of the political results, there may be an element of wishing none of this ever happened. Take Leicester City. Everyone may wish them well on their Champions League adventure nike cortez ultra moire australia , but there's a bit of every fan that wants to see them relegated. Year of the underdog? Maybe, but there's plenty of people that will want that particular dog to have had its day.

NAIROBI, May 27 (Xinhua) -- Kenya faces a daunting task in its bid to claim the women's volleyball World Cup ticket, with eight countries bidding for the single slot reserved for Africa in the qualifier tournament on June 10 in Nairobi.
Nairobi will play host to the Africa Nations Cup, where Kenya will come up against three times winners Tunisia, Algeria nike cortez grey womens australia , Morocco, Botswana, Cameroon, Mauritius and Senegal. The winner will get the chance to compete at the World Cup in Japan in August.
Kenya Volleyball Federation Secretary General Evans Wasike said they might get more teams, as Egypt, Uganda nike cortez grey australia , Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia are yet to confirm their participation.
"We have eight teams confirmed for the Africa nations Cup. But the other four have shown interest but are yet to send in their formal confirmation," said Wasike.
Kenya team, which is training in Nairobi, has already named its final 14-member squad.
Kenya, who have already qualified for the All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville this September, have won the African Volleyball Championship a record eight times.
