    Great memories. Thanks for all the messages, very much appreciated. And unexpected.
    It's 24 years since Steve Redgrave rowed himself into the Olympic history books, winning an iconic FIFTH consecutive Olympic gold medal at Sydney 2000. 🤩 His achievement came 16 years after his first rowing gold at Los Angeles 1984. 🤯 #OTD | #Olympics | #Sydney2000 |

    Today should be renamed 'Olympic birthday day', so many happy returns to @Mo_Farah, @chrishoy, @JasonKenny107, @ShelleyRudman, and also to @RealJoeCalzaghe , @Athersmike. My thoughts however are with Roger Bannister's family who has recently passed and would have been 89 today

    .@BBCSport coverage of the Winter Olympics has been exceptional as ever, in spite of pretty appalling weather conditions. Professional, entertaining and informed. Still the best broadcaster in the world!

    I have missed many anniversaries over the years but this one is the exception. 20 years ago Sydney 2000 happened and @matthewcpinsent, @jamescracknell, Tim, and I won our final race by a mile! That win resulted in my fifth Olympic Gold, and this video.

    I know, I can't believe it either! I can't even blame a mid-life crisis, I am too old! Definitely looking forward to competing again, hopefully I remember how that goes! #DancingOnIce 🏅
