For her sporting achievements, obviously. You probably also know her twin sister?I know who Eugenie Bouchard is....
The least accomplished athlete of the bunch, but I'm not surprised.

Didn't know she had a twin sister. Thanks for that though...

Hey, I don't watch it, it was shown in the gym! As I said, trying to hit the same little patch over and over again seems pointless to me.

You can't win if you only hit that patch. You need to finish with a patch on the edge of the board. All kinds of combinations need to be calculated and hit to win a leg, depending on how it goes. It takes skill to do this well. Concentration and mathematics. I don't watch it anymore either, but I did so for a while starting in the mid nineties when Barney took on Britain.

Watching darts is awesome. Just loads of pints & shouting. Later people start throwing chairs about.

Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
Steve Redgrave, Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Mo Farah, Ben Ainslie, Andy Murray, Jessica Ennis and David Beckham. Would've included Daley Thompson instead of Becks if I wasn't going for a familiar face.
Haven't heard of him. I have heard of Andrew Wiggins who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves and scored 31 points against the Milwaukee Bucks last night, though.

Redgrave, Hoy, Wiggins, Farah, Ainslie and Ennis should be recognizable from the Olympics, but I think you said Turkish TV doesn't show any non-Turks other than Usain Bolt. If they pay attention to the Tour de France they should know Wiggins.
I couldn't name ten Turkish athletes though. Uhm... Rustu Recber, Colin Kazim-Richards, Hakan Sukur, Emre Can(?), Arda Turan and Mesut Ozil.

This post will probably anger some (good! I like doing that 
).
So many people online are "surprised" by the deaths this year of Carrie Fisher, David Bowie, Lemmy (died in December last year), etc. I am not surprised people who were life long smokers and/or drug abusers died. I am surprised they lasted as long as they did. The body can only take so much.
Still...yes it is too bad they are gone. Not only for their family, but obviously as fans who will miss out on the future work they could have done.

That's more than enough, we aren't exactly a powerhouse athletically.
Emre Can is Turkish btw yes. You could name İlkay Gündoğan as well. Maybe Tugay Kerimoğlu, played for Blackburn for a long time. (Played for Rangers too IIRC)

There's Nadir Cifti too, who was at Dundee United a couple of seasons ago. Then Celtic bought him for no reason and he's barely played for them.
I thought the same when Heath Ledger and the guys from Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold died of drug overdoses. They became idolized way more than they had been while alive and for some reason became legends because of their deaths. Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold shamelessly used their friends' deaths as a promotional tool too.This post will probably anger some (good! I like doing that
