AH, Steve Redgrave made history on Saturday Morning at the Sydney Olympics by winning his fifth Olympic Gold rowing medal as a cre member in the coxless fours.
Now you mightn't think it's such a big deal, but that's five Gold medals in the context of one per games!! In other words he started off in LA, onto Seoul, then Barcelona, Atlanta next, then finally Sydney. all this despite being a Diabetic, (insulin 6 times daily) and having colitis at one stage.
4 Hours training per day, 7 days a week, 48 weeks of the year!
I agree with all credit to the other three guys, especially Mat Pinsent, that was his third! What competitors!
