Result of Previous Polls.
We asked who you thought would be the top
British Males Sprinter in 2002.
With an overwhelming 49% (more than double
anyone else) you said Dwain Chambers. We think
his success in the European Championships bear
that out.
We asked you who you thought the greatest
British athletes of all time have been and you voted
these 3 people to be way ahead of the rest.
1. Daley Thompson 25.5%
2. Sebastian Coe 23.6%
3. Sally Gunnell 19.8%
The remaining 9 athletes totally 31.1% between
them, with none of them getting above 6%.
Next we asked who you thought the top athlete
of 2002 was - it came as no surprise that with
nearly 3 times as many votes as anyone else
Paula Radcliffe was your choice.
During the summer we asked how you thought
UK:Athletics should spend their development money.
The result was quite close, but the winner was
Club Athletics (30.8%) followed by Schools (26.9%).
The least favoured option was to spend it on our
potential Olympians (just 11.5%) - it would be
interesting to know what they actually spend the
money on - anyone at UK:A care to let us know.
In summer 2003, we asked you to guess how many
medals Great Britain would get at the World Championships.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a great championships for the
British team so only 7% of people guessed right at 4 medals.
At the end of 2003 the poll was about who was the athlete
of the year. It came as no surprise that Paula Radcliffe was
again your top athlete - although this time she was pushed
harder by Darren Campbell and Chris Rawlinson who both got
about 1/4 of the vote.
In the latest poll which finished in Oct 2006 - we discovered
that with 42% of the vote Track Championships were far and away your
favourite types of competition to compete in.
