Talk:Steve Redgrave

Charity work
Needs far more on his charity work ie raisijng 1.3 million in the recent Lonmdon marathon

CBE
Technically, the Sir in front of his name is not allowed, see OBE. He should be called 'Steve Redgrave, CBE', as he is not a knight.
 * No. Steve was awarded the MBE in the New Year's Honours List in 1987 and the CBE in the New Year's Honours List of 1997 and following his success in Sydney was awarded a Knighthood in the 2001 New Years Honours List. --LiamE 00:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See Knight Bachelor for an explanation of his status --Mrh30 14:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Gold at five consecutive games
Pál Kovács, Aladár Gerevich, Reiner Klimke were all mentioned before I changed the second paragraph but, impressive though the records of all these Olympians are, none of them won golds in 5 consecutive games. Dyaimz (talk) 00:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Junior World Rowing Championships
1967 must be a mistake. AaRH (talk) 13:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes. That was rubbish, & I've reverted that edit (& some edits to other pages by the same editor).  David Biddulph (talk) 20:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

England's only gold medalist at Atlanta, 1996
I think that fact is worth mentioning. I'm not English, or particularly interested in rowing, but I recall that it was the 1996 olympics when he became a household name for England, because England had not won a gold medal, and Redgrave's race was near the end of the event, and the whole country was counting on him winning for a fourth time, so as to have just one gold medal from those olympics. For him to win under that pressure was significant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Javaman59 (talk • contribs) 23:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Diabetes
The current reference, ref #7, to the published case report entitled Olympic diabetes by Ian W Gallen, Ann Redgrave and Steven Redgrave (Clinical Medicine Vol 3 No 4 July/August 2003) at http://docserver.ingentaconnect.com/deliver/connect/rcop/14702118/v3n4/s11.pdf?expires=1327484201&id=66849495&titleid=5200003&accname=Guest+User&checksum=BBD21ABFEA3B3D6854436DA8990EEBD2 does not support the statement of fact currently made in the article that Redgrave was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Rather, the published case report makes it clear that Redgrave was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, viz the last two sentences in paragraph 2 of the case report (my emphasis): "The random blood glucose was 25 mmol/l associated with moderate ketonuria, but no proteinuria. The results of investigation suggested a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes with a negative islet cell antibody titre and detectable C-peptide." I am amending, therefore, the text of the article accordingly. 121.222.131.7 (talk) 09:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

One of four
"Redgrave is one of only four Olympians to have won a gold medal at five consecutive Olympic Games." Who were the other three? Tad Lincoln (talk) 03:40, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

gold at five consecutive games
In the second paragraph you have that he won gold at four consecutive olympic games. He actually won gold at FIVE consecutive olympics. '84, '88, '92, '96 and 2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.161.29 (talk) 09:56, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Dyslexia
I know that we need sources for claims about living people. I had known for some time (i.e. about ten years) that Stephen Redgrave is dyslexic, in fact, I knew this long before I saw the following website, but at least it will give a source for the information that he is dyslexic:
