Any athlete past or present and why???

Dan man

Ok, so I'm gonna cheat by giving the names of several athletes whose attributes I admire......

I'd love to have........ the self-belief and sheer grit of Derval O'Rourke; the style and finesse of Kenenisa Bekele; the mullet daring, self-assured (bordering on impudent) philosophy of Mad Len; the wow factor of Usain Bolt; the 9.58secs WR of Usain Bolt, the raw talent and smooth style of Usain Bolt; the sexual magnetism of Usain Bolt.....wait wait wait, this is getting outta hand......now where was I......; the invincibility of Ed Moses; the abilty to get away with a crazy 'tache as per Daley Thompson; the longevity of Merlene Ottey; the humility of Eric Liddell; the finishing speed of an east-African distance runner; the gold medals of Michael Johnson and above all, the pride, dignity and graciousness of Jesse Owens (and let's face it, he was a half-decent athlete also)

Now that's my letter to Santa drafted now, nice and early.....anyone have old St.Nic's email address??

Jesse wasn't very dignified when getting jiggy in a lifeboat on the top deck on boat to Berlin in '36 which is another reason to want to be be him - his way with the ladies!!!

Past - Daley Thompson, for sheer competative nature
Present - Usain Bolt, for the money, adulation and the laydeees
