Whi s Britains greatest ever sportsperson?


Recommended Posts

Very subjective I think and I don't believe there's a single answer. For me it's any individual who dominated in their sport for a number of years. In no order (although subconsciously I've put Redgrave first so maybe him?), I'd choose:

Steven Redgrave - 5 Olympic Golds, over 5 Olympics, 3 Commonwealth Golds, 9 World Championship Golds

Nick Faldo - 6 majors, over 40 titles

Lewis Hamilton - 7 World Championships

Chris Hoy - 11 World Championships, 6 Olympic Golds over 4 Olympics

AP McCoy - won just about everything there is to win

Tanni Grey-Thompson - 11 paralympic golds

Lennox Lewis / Joe Calzaghe - flip a coin between the two.

There are other great sports people, but I've gone with the above list based on their desire to keep going at the top level over several years, beating the world's best.
