Steve Redgrave: I'd swap all my medals just for the chance to row at London 2012
Evening Standard
Sir Steve Redgrave may be the bookies favourite to light the 2012 Olympic flame but his advice is to not to put any money on him.
Given that he has kept the opening night free from TV work the assumption is that on July 27 Britain's only Olympian to win five golds will enter the Olympic Stadium with the flame?
"Of course, I'd like the honour but, if you look through the history of the Games, they always try to have somebody who's a little bit more unexpected," he says. "So being favourite is not the best place to be. I think LOCOG [the 2012 organising committee] will do something a little bit different."
