Poll: Greatest British Olympian in Beijing?

You'll be waiting. I think half of then are in Beijing.

I personally asked Niall A question and he has failed to even respond.


Anyhow to answer your question - The answer imo is Chris Hoy
 
No doubt about it is Chris Hoy.

Honourable mention to Rebecca Adlington though, she should have gotten a third gold but the rest of her team let her down.

We don't own Jamaica anymore, so unfortunately we can't go for him even if he does as expected win the 200m :nervous:

Anyway as for the greatest Olympian in Beijing has to be Michael Phelps. The man is a machine
 
Adlington, as I think swimming is such a tough sport for one to become a double Olympian.

Was she convicted of taking drugs? Was Rio convicted?

No she wasnt, but to miss three tests?! Personally, that is inexcusable, Would love to have heard her excuses for the third one. Whats more, she has been totally unrepentant. She knew the rules, and yet she still broke them three times, which should have meant a lifetime ban from the Olympics. That overturning of her ban was a disgrace! Almost as bad as the Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar debacle in Pakistani Cricket...

I cant stand her myself, and if she becomes the face of the Olympics 2012, it would be a smack in the face to the values of the Olympics.

Tbf she didnt ever test positive, so you can't take the results away from, at the same time you dont have to give her a single ounce of respect
