For a long time now , Melbourne has always been the sporting capital of Australia
Now it looks like its also the sporting capital of the world .

The following is a list of major events in the Melbourne sports calendar ;
Australian Tennis Open
Australian Formula One Grand Prix
Australian Football League Grand Final
Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix ( Phillip Island )
The Melbourne Cup ( horse racing )

Are there any other cities out there , that might come even close to Melbourne when it comes to great sporting events ???
