So who do you think should light the flame at the Olympic Opening Ceremony?

[ladybirder]

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.

Kelly Holmes.......................that should stop the boys bitching about each other.

[MASS1961]

Not Becks???

[Psybbo]

Kelly Holmes

[Maydup]

Chris Hoy

[wardlaw]

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.

[Psybbo]

Craft and I agree (ttfn borrowing yours) thuuuuuuud

[wardlaw]

OMG Mass NO!!!!

[ladybirder]

Beckham's not qualified.
No one else for Daley Thompson then?

[MASS1961]

Ha Wardlaw lol, poor lad's got nothing to do now

[craft1948]

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)

Princess Anne as she was involved in the past and her daughter is in the 2012 olympics.

[ladybirder]

[ELVIS68]

Daley Thompson

The only sportsman to make sport look easy!

Dorothy Tyler, no question

[DTCwordfan]

Mrs O - she's sooooooooooo hot.

[dotty.]

she stood up to Hitler, she can handle anything

[jackthehat]

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.

[baza]

on a serious note then i would go for Dame Kelly Holmes.

[dotty.]

I don't know , there were bigger things going on at the time Tyler competed, and alot more to overcome

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.
