That was Matthew Pincent, Redgrave has won 5 consecutive olympic gold medals, the most any British athlete has in one given field, and had diabetes all this time. He is arguably the best British Olympic athlete ever, and must have unbelievable determination to get through what he has. As his MBE suggests, he truly is a sporting legend, and if you're putting the creator of "Yu-Gi-Oh!1!1!" on the list then Steve Redgrave is a no-brainer.

AND he has like the world's biggest lungs. Over 7 litres, compared to a normal person's measly 2.
