Ok - continuing on from the last poll.
We would like to know who you think is currently the greatest sportsperson of the modern era , this can include recently retired Sports stars (in the 2 last years) and they have to have been competing at the top level in their chosen sport.
once we have finalised a list the TCB admins will choose the best ten, I will post a poll and we can all vote on who should be awarded the "TCB - Greatest Sportstar" title

I'll start:

Ian Thorpe
Tiger Woods
Michael Shumacher
Roger Federrer
Lance Armstrong
Blazzo

Although kim is good i dont think she is a standout athlete... otherwise id say we have to include, venus and Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova and Martina Hingis

Annika is a good inclusion - but maybe we should seperate Men and women.... thoughts anyone?

Honestly I reckon there are only two runners in this race from my point of view, will be between Schumi and Armstrong, at least thats where i reckon the majority of the votes will come from, will be interesting to see..I could be wrong

im not so sure the girls will go for schummi - i wont but thats just because i dont feel motor racing is a true "sport" even though you need great skill etc etc...

yeah, those AB's for team of the year if we had that pos up for grabs, they love to choke in the world cups though, but with their current form doesn't look likely..
