CBE (born on 23 March1962, in Marlow, England) - As the only Briton ever to achieve this feat, Stephen Redgrave is widely considered to be Britain's greatest Olympian. Only four other Olympians achieved the same: Pál Kovács, Aladár Gerevich (the only one to surpass it with 6 consecutive golds), Reiner Klimke, and Birgit Fischer, and only one of those in an "endurance" event. Redgrave has also won nine Rowing World Championship gold medals.

In addition to his Olympic team medals, Redgrave has won 9 gold medals, 2 silvers, and a bronze at the Rowing World Championships.
His 14 total Olympic and World Championship gold medals is unsurpassed by any other rower in history, although later equalled by his long-time rowing partner Matthew Pinsent.
In 2000, Redgrave won his fifth consecutive Olympic team Gold Medal, retired from the sport, and became the BBC Sports Personality of the Year
In April 2006 he completed his third London Marathon, raising a record £1,800,000 for charity.
