    Ah fcuk! Steve Redgrave.

    For all we know he could have been a passenger in every boat he won gold in.

    A passenger in a two man boat....you'd go round in circles, right?

    Guys. Redgrave is only receiving the Flame. Think it going around a few more people before the touch is lit.

    Yep, especially that Commonwealth gold he won in the single skulls.

    You'd want to be some man to row to golds single handedly in the pairs all those times dragging steve redgrave along with you too.

    I once asked Redgrave where the toilets were in Gatwick without even copping on to who he was

    The vast majority of the world outside 'GB' will have no idea who he is.
    Still, probably a good choice given who might've been picked.

    Sure the procurement director for the games is an Irish man. He came out of retirement for it. Was given a budget of £1.1 billion! That's some responsibility!!
