Your favourite GB Goldies.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Leaving aside the team golds, there were 18 who picked up individually.
Choose your favourite 5, for whatever your reasons.
I found it really hard to pick my 5.

In no particular order......

Mo Farah.                      True legend plus distance running has always been my favourite to watch.
Bradley Wiggins            Its Brad innit !
Nicola Adams                 Making history, great personality.
Jessica Ennis                 All rounder - The female Daly Thompson
Alistair Brownlee           Triathlon - Phew these are tough guys !

Wanted to put Andy Murray in but this is so tough picking just 5.

Mo Farah. He is just brilliant to watch. A true legend.

There is so much talent in the Great Britain team and so many great performances it has been absolutely amazing. What an event it has been from the very start and all the way through. It does make you feel extremely proud.

I saw a interview with Alistair and Jonny Brownlee last night and I was gobsmacked to how young they actually are. When I watched their race I thought they were both young but seeing them in a studio I couldn't quite believe it. A Brilliant performance from them too.

[Chris Jameson]

Realised I've gone for same 5 as Andy Lochead with Nicola Adams just edging Pendleton.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

For the person - Nicola Adams for the sheer joy on her face with victory.
A genuinely nice down to earth person, one of the good souls.

Fot the achievement - Mo Farah. Truly awe inspiring and never looked in any sort of difficulty in either race.

[Ron Manager]

Nicola Adams instantly likeable. A little woman with a big personallity and a huge will to win.
Mo Farrah  No words necessary!
Bradley Wiggins  A winner!
Jessica Ennis  When it mattered she delivered.
Laura Trott  Far more attractive than Pendelton and humble too unlike fancy pants.

[darren woolley]

Jessica Ennis and then Mo Farrah followed by Bradley Wiggins for me.

[paul_e]

Mo, Wiggo and Sir Chris as true olympic greats, massive achievements for all 3.

Trott and Kenny because they're going to be 2 key members of the team in Rio, they're both still very young for the events they're in and should come back stronger next time.

Hard to leave out Jess though, was a tough choice between her and Sir Chris for my last spot.  Pendleton would've coasted it but 2 disqualifications have let her down badly when she should have been looking at 3 golds.

[lovejoy]

Ainslie a true master
Wiggo the season of a lifetime
Trott genuine talent and down to earth
Hoy see Ainslee
Farah took on the best Africans and won.

No Pendleton as she is mental and no ennius as I felt she didn't have tough cometition

[lovejoy]

Just seen the votes and Murray has more than ainslee. Sport is all about opinions but come on folks shake out of it.

[Dave Cooper please]

Not an individual but my favourite was the girl in the pair's rowing who just threw her arms in the air and screamed "Oh my God we've just won The Olympics!"

Not an individual but my favourite was the girl in the pair's rowing who just threw her arms in the air and screamed "Oh my God we've just won The Olympics!"

She wasn't on the list but, as per the original thread around the time it happened - "we're going to be on a stamp!" - should be the strapline of the Team GB success, genuinely brilliant quote.

[hipkiss92]

In no real order

Ben Ainslie - continuing the tradition of Drake, Raleigh, Nelson of Britannia ruling the waves
Brad Wiggins - I went down to time trial, and he's really cool
Victoria Pendleton - best in the world for year's and she's unbelievably hot
Mo Farah - he's absolutely incredible, and his answer to the question 'would you rather have competed for somalia?' was brilliant
Alistair Brownlee - I enjoy beating my brother at things too

My favourite Olympian got to be Katherine Grainger though, imagine how good that Gold must feel after three consecutive silvers 

[garyshawsknee]

Mo's double was something special,on his last laps of both races I felt the intense pressure I usually feel watching Villa.

And David (insert surname) 800 metres was unreal,to virtually sprint for two laps has taken middle distance running to a new level,just like Bolt has done with the sprints.

And David Rudisha 800 metres was unreal,to virtually sprint for two laps has taken middle distance running to a new level,just like Bolt has done with the sprints.

There you go, him and Bolt are going to be famous for a very very long time, they're both well ahead of the curve in the their events.  I'd put money on Bolt breaking 9.5 and Rushida breaking 1:40.  For the record I think Bolt stands a chance of breaking 19 in the 200 as well (but that's less likely than the sub 9.5 100, which will happen within a year or 2).

[TopDeck113]

Adams - wonderful smile and genuine pride in representing her country and securing her place in Olympic history.

Ainslee - snatched gold from the jaws of defeat. A true winner.

Ennis - no one had more pressure on them to deliver. Pretty as a picture and as hard as nails.

Farah - the next time someone questions multicultural Britain remember the pride taken in seeing a Somalian refugee wrapped in the Union flag. Twice.

Wiggins - 10 days from being on top of the podium in Paris to being on top of the podium in London. The sporting achievement of the year.
