Right, here I go being controversial again and I know I will be inviting everyone to have a pop at me! However, here goes. Why does everyone twitter on about Usain Bolt being the greatest Olympian? Yes, he's fantastic and he has achieved much but, surely, we have got to admire endurance athletes more? The likes of Mo Farah, Bradley Wiggins, Steve Redgrave, Jess Ennis. How they have the cheek to behave like they're knackered after running a few 100m races amazes me. I know they put in a lot of training in the 4 years in between but, come on, get real! The other day the 3 heptathlon medallists had a selfie with Usain Bolt, like he was the hero. He should have been bowing down to all the heptathletes, even the one that came last!
And, as an add on, look at the effort Andy Murray and Del Potro put in FIGHTING for a gold medal. Now, that was a real contest.
