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

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.

So does anybody think Bradley deserves it over Redgrave and Thompson (who seemed to be the favourites) since he won today?

Nope.

No, he's only just done it. It needs to be someone of more enduring status.

Just had a brilliant suggestion on another thread. Sir Roger Bannister.

they have already decided that it will be a sports person of some calibre - possibly one mentioned here.

but i would always hope that they could draw lots amongst children from great ormond street or an orphanage or some other institution. . .make one poor child very very happy for one night.
