I find it hard to get too excited about cycling. Mo Farah for me.

Whilst I respect the achievements of the multi-medal-winning cyclists and swimmers like Michael Phelps, whose 23 gold medals is bonkers and will probably never be beaten, swimming, cycling and gymnastics all seem like sports where is is "easier" for star athletes to mop up medals in relation to other sports.

Not a difficult choice. Kenny has won 63 medals at UCI World Championships, UEC European Championships, UCI World Cups, Olympic and Commonwealth Games - 44 of them golds. 4 of the golds were won at Olympic games.

Nice part of the world, I'm guessing. He's a Bury (or is it Bolton?) lad, isn't he?

Now this is a tough shout.
Edit…went for Alistair Brownlee, even Laura is so fantastic, I couldn’t see past a triathlete.
