There is an element of racism in it, but the resentment of British sportsmen dominating is peculiar to this country. Steve Davis got similar hatred when he was dominating snooker in the eighties and Chris Froome gets the same reactions from cycling fans despite being one of the sports all time Tour de France greats, an astonishing reaction when you think that just ten years ago no British rider had even come close. Nick Faldo wasn't too popular either.

We seem far more comfortable with our Eddie the Eagles and Frank Brunos, plucky losers who were good for a laugh.
