This Day In Sport – December 1

They say we should use this time to learn something new – so we thought we’d offer up a history lesson free of charge!

We’re going to be recapping all the important sporting moments each and every day on the Ladbrokes Blog.

So if it’s AFL, NRL, Basketball, Cricket, Golf or even Wrestling, be sure to return each morning as we take a trip back through the history books to relive some of the great and important sporting moments in This Day In Sport!

2012 – Barca best Start and Becks Farewell

FC Barcelona started the 2012-13 season with 13 wins and a draw, setting a new La Liga Spanish season record as Lionel Messi scored twice in Barca’s 5-1 win against Athletic Bilbao, passing Real Madrids 1991-92 season mark.

Also on the same day, David Beckham left LA Galaxy on a high with his second MLS Cup winners medal with a 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo in Carson, California. It would be the final game of Becks six-season stint in the USA.

1956 – Golden Girls Blitz at Melbourne Olympics

Dawn Fraser won the first of her three consecutive gold medals in the 100 meters freestyle event, breaking the world record with a time of 1:02:00 and beating fellow Australian Lorraine Capp who came in at second.

Along with breaking a world record, the 18 year-old Fraser would lead an Australian medal sweep at the Melbourne Olympics.

She would gain a second gold medal in leading the Aussies to a world record in the 4x100m freestlye relay and also collected silver in the 400m freestyle.

Over at the MCG, the Australian women’s 4x100m relay team of Norma Croker, Betty Cuthbert, Fleur Mellor & Shirley Strickland de la Hunty also ran a world record time of 44.65 to win gold – it would be Cuthbert’s 3rd Olympic Gold of the Games.
