Andy Murray, a legendary British tennis player, is nearing the end of his professional career. His fellow Team GB member, Katie Boulter, believes he has an unfair advantage at the 2024 Olympic tournament in Paris. This comes after Murray's unexpected withdrawal from the Olympic singles event, which was meant to be his final tournament before retirement.
At 37 years old, Murray is now solely focused on winning a fourth Olympic medal in the men's doubles event with his partner Dan Evans. Boulter, who is competing in the women's singles event, revealed that Murray's advantage has nothing to do with his tennis skills. Instead, it is related to a new hobby that the British players have picked up during their time in Paris.
Boulter explained that Murray is a pro at collecting pins and takes it very seriously. She shared that from the moment they picked up their accreditation badges, Murray was already on the hunt for pins to add to his collection. This has given him an unfair advantage as many people approach him for selfies and he trades them for pins. Boulter joked that it's tough to keep up with Murray's pin-collecting skills.
The pin-collecting craze is not exclusive to Team GB. Boulter revealed that every country has their own unique pins and they often go out at night together, riding their Team GB bikes, in search of pins to trade with other countries. She admitted that the whole thing is insane but also very special and unique.
Murray, who bid an emotional farewell to Wimbledon earlier this year, has left a lasting legacy in the world of tennis. His sponsor, Castore, has even suggested that the road leading to the Wimbledon grounds be renamed as the "Murray Mile" in his honor. Tom Beahon, co-founder of Castore, praised Murray's determination and drive to constantly push himself to win. He believes that Murray's achievements should be celebrated and remembered with a permanent legacy.
