SEE - all that inspiration continues to work its magic! :tu: :)

I really do think the team spirit, national pride and worldwide admiration that's been engendered here is truly amazing and although some may not like him, I believe Lord Coe has played a very large part in making the London Olympics the success it is.

It's going to sad to see the end of these games and I really hope the media's fixation on all things negatiev won't return too soon after it's all over. Of course that won't happen and it'll soon be business as usual... :(

think has to bradley wiggins he not just done it in olympics he won dauphine, tour of roumandy, paris-nice & tour de france. Cap it he was third in the volta.

Its never been achieved in cycling ever not even greats of the past.

We have to acknowledge the greatest performance in one year first englishman to win tour de france.

We could argue andy scheck, contador was abcent but you beat what infront andy scheck looked not in shape anyway in the tour of switzerland.

Farah achievements considering first brit to win 10,000 against the africans was immense.

Rutherford shock gold in long jump

To me has to be bradley just for sheer year he had..

Team for me the hardest.

sky team
4 man team persuit
3 women team persuit
4 man rowing

hell hard task to split this

Still has to be Bradley Wiggans IMO. Even if you ignore his gold medal he became the first British winner of The Tour De France, one of the hardest events in sport.

Andy Murray might be in with a shout if he wins today, even more so if he and Laura Robson win in the mixed doubles as well.

It's hard to take seriously the opinions of someone who can't tell the difference between England and Britain.
