When it comes to sport, some would make the argument that anybody could become a champion with enough training and passion. Whilst this is likely true, genetics must also have a huge part to play. That's never been more apparent than with these iconic siblings who have showcased their skills as part of a number of different sports. So, in no particular order, here are seven of the most iconic sibling duos and trios to carve out a career in the sporting world...
7. Venus and Serena Williams
With a combined 30 Grand Slam titles between them (seven for Venus, 23 for Serena), the Williams sisters are some of the most dominant forces on the tennis court. No matter what type of ground they're playing on, they manage to make a statement with aggressive, quick play, keeping opponents on their toes and ensuring that everybody watching has a moment they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
6. Peyton and Eli Manning
American football is one of the most beloved sports on the planet, and the Manning family are above and beyond one of the most recognisable families to have carved out a career playing the game. Peyton and Eli Manning have each earned two Super Bowl victories during their run to-date, but that's just a small part of the legacy they've already left behind. Peyton holds a number of National Football League records, including touchdown passes with 539, Pro Bowl appearances with 14, and single-season passing yards with 5,477 in 2013.
5. Reggie and Cheryl Miller
Both members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Reggie and Cheryl Miller will go down in history as some of the best players the sport has ever seen. Reggie is considered one of the National Basketball Association's best shooters, scoring 2,560 three-pointers in his career, whilst Cheryl holds a number of Trojan career records, including field goals made with 1,159, and free throws made with 700.
4. Jimmy and Jey Uso
Tag team matches are some of the most entertaining in the world of wrestling, and the Uso brothers have proven time and again during their run in World Wrestling Entertainment that they are some of the most talented and cohesive tag partners on the planet. With six WWE Tag Team Championship runs to their name and counting, it's possible that, by the time their career comes to an end, they'll be sitting with more reigns than anybody else to have competed within WWE.
3. Andy and Jamie Murray
Judy Murray's tennis coaching of her two boys Andy and Jamie clearly paid off. Jamie is a six-time Grand Slam doubles winner and a Davis Cup champion, as well as a former doubles world No. 1. Andy is a three-time Grand Slam winner, two-time Olympic champion, and this year at Wimbledon teamed up with Serena Williams for some of the most thrilling mixed doubles matches we've ever seen. It's not clear where their careers will go from here, but we're sure that they'll be as thrilling to watch as ever.
2. Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko may now be retired, but that doesn't stop us from looking back at his stellar career as a heavyweight boxer, having earned both the WBC and WBO championships, and leaving the sport behind with a 45-2 record. Wladimir also retired back in 2017, but rumours suggest he may be looking to make a return, to see if he can pick up some more wins. To-date, he's held the world heavyweight championship twice, as well as the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Ring magazine and lineal titles.
1. Tracey, Gary and Phil Neville
Whilst Gary and Phil Neville both made their name in football, Tracey Neville went down a different path, and is currently serving as the head coach of the England national netball team, following her own time competing in the sport. Following England's thrashing of Samoa in last night's (July 14, 2019) match, it's going to be very interesting to see if Tracey's squad can go all the way and raise the trophy at the end of the competition.
