Talk about humble, this AFTER taking his 5th gold medal.... Sir Chris in the Telegraph this morning: Typically, though, the Scot was his usual supremely modest self as he remained adamant afterwards that Sir Steve Redgrave cannot be topped as Britain’s greatest Olympian. “What he has achieved will never be bettered in terms of five consecutive Games,” said Hoy. “I’m delighted that I’ve got five gold medals but does that mean I am a better athlete or have achieved as much as him. “To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Steve Redgrave, you have got to pinch yourself. I watched him win his five gold medals and I used to do a bit of rowing myself. It’s kind that people are talking about me but Steve did it for five consecutive games in such a physically demanding sport. “And then there was Bradley’s seven medals. He’s a superstar, he’s a megastar. I watched him on telly last night and he’s not just a good bike rider, he’s an entertaining bloke, a man of the people and just great.”
