Redgrave.
This scot did not. When Hoy wins as much as Redgrave then you can mention them in the same breath |

Fairly sure it was harder to win his golds than it was for hoy.

This scot did not. When Hoy wins as much as Redgrave then you can mention them in the same breath Hoy has won more than Redgrave He had more opportunity to. Redgrave only had 1 shot per Olympics over 5 of them. 5 games and 5 golds is the perfect record over a longer period of time. |

Really thought I would have to wait till the morning for a bite. Both awesome guys but I think Sir Steve captured the publics imagination a bit more. |

Redgrave only had 1 shot per Olympics over 5 of them. Its Redgrave for me, 5 golds in 5 straight olympics is a lot tougher in my book. Ben Anslie says he wont be in Rio but if he goes and wins his 5th straight he will match Redgrave for me. |

Not sure I would rate Ainslie as high even if he did Rio, the endurance aspect of rowing is considerably tougher imo. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Hoy has got his golds in a variety of different disciplines. Sprinting, Keiren, TT. All require a different set of skills (apart from riding a bike really really quickly). Also think cycling is alot more competitive than rowing. Wouldn't put Ainslie on a par with either even if he wins in Rio. |

Not really, they are all just a sprint at the end of a few laps at the end of the day. |
