Decathlete Daley Thompson or Sir Steve Redgrave? Or somebody else, say Dame Kelly Holmes? Their respective achievements are here.

Personally I would like to see Daley Thompson do it.

Read the DM link ladybirder very impressive medal hauls by both men but, one thing does stand out to me, that is the word pairs at the side of most if not all of Redgraves medals. Not so with Thompson he did it all on his own, top class, stand out alone Olympian, I am with you on this one.

Either Sir Steve Redgrave (our greatest ever Olympian) or Ld Coe because of the tremendous work he has done to secure the games for London. Then perhaps Dame Kelly.
When it comes to the paralympics Tanni-Grey Thompson.

Today it was Seb saying that Daley should do it as he's his BFF, and Daley saying Seb should do it as he doesn't think rowing is as difficult as athletics, what a pair of brown-nosed plonkers...............Kelly should do it (she'd beat them both at arm wrestling)

As a reigning Olympic Champion, and a TdF winner (fingers crossed for Sunday) I think Bradley Wiggins ought be be high up in the short-list.

I agree they are being a pair of plonkers craft and they should pick somebody else but I remember watching Daley Thompson winning all his medals and thought he was brilliant and would love to see him do it. But if not him then Kelly Holmes.
