Who should light the Olympic Cauldron, Daley Thompson or Sir Steve Redgrave?

[Gromit]

Neither, it should be a member of the public.

[youngmafbog]

Could go with that Gromit, so long as the person was a memberof some sporting club.

surprised its not Coca Cola or Visa.

[Gromit]

If it does have to be between Daley or Redgrave is it too short notice to have a 'Strictly Come Dancing' Dance-off for the honour of lighting the flame?

[Gromit]

Didn't Daley have a fling with Princess Anne?

He should win for his exceptional bravery.

[berniecuddles]

dont care!!!

[MoonRocker]

Both great choices but I'd go with Sir Steve, he is our greatest olympian.

[flip_flop]

It should be a Brit who epitomises the olympic spirit and whose greatest honour was to represent their nation - how about Zola Budd?

[sp1814]

Who is our 'greatest Olympian'?

Isn't there an argument to suggest it's Sir Chris Hoy?

[askyourgran]

David Beckham, he was supposed to be in the fore for the Olympics. I think they should give him the accolade.

//.... how about Zola Budd? //

No - someone might trip her up

Daley Thompson

Riding a bike and rowing a boat isn't a sport

It's a good trick though if you can do it.

Redgrave, purely on his results.

[sir.prize]

Bazile - she was too nimble on her feet to be tripped up.

[cathfromsaron]

no there isn't sandy!

[sir.prize]

I think Thompson once refused to carry the Union Flag.

[sandyRoe]

will someone please report my answer at 14:51 and have it removed?

[ludwig]

I've reported it sandy. Hopefully it will be gone before Thompson's lawyers see it.

You've said it now , no turning back I'm afraid.

This is Daley Thompson's view on drugs in sport, and I must say I totally agree with him.
