Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing wonderful athlete, but I've had this argument several times today where people have said he's the greatest athlete ever because of his medal count. No one will convince me it's not Sir Steve (mainly as I've completed against him to so I'm biased).

Fair enough. I wouldn't go so far as to say the best athlete ever, that would have to go to some decathlete somewhere along the line. Still, it's absolutely amazing and to have done it for four Olympics in a row. I consider is an honour to be alive to see it, it's a record that will take some beating.

Five mate. Five in a row. Twenty years at the top of his game in a sport where you have to train 360 days a year for 4-6 hours a day. And he had diabetes and colitis for the last 6 years.

(He also got a bronze with his gold in his fist olympics in the coaxed paid - before they retired that event)
