Hingsen won silver in 1982 Euros, 1983 Worlds, 1984 Olympics and 1986 Euros. Guess who won the gold in all of those? He didn't compete in the 1978 Euros (when Daley won silver aged just 20).
Not sure why anyone would think Hingsen would have beaten Daley in 1980 if he'd been allowed to be there? My point is that Thompson had a significantly easier Olympic run compared with Ennis-Hill. |

I'd rather have a game (or even two) on the ZX Spectrum (and, I think, C64) than a knighthood, tbh. Knighthoods are bollocks, but those games gave a shitload of kids a shitload of fun and a lot of good memories. I don't even like sport, but I'll always remember those games.

Ennis - One gold medal
Pendleton - Two gold medals Kenny (nee Trott) Four gold medals The difference is even greater if you start to add in World championships and other tites. Sally Gunnel too has a record to rival Ennis. |

Because he broke the World Record numerous times! Also, the then record holder in June '80 was prevented from participating too - always handy if they're not around, I say.

How much money did he give to the Conservative party?

In your view it would appear that some gold medals are worth rather more than others.

Because he hasn't. Now much more to it than that.
