Sir Steve Redgrave competed at 5 Olympic Games between 1984 and 2000. He\u2019s the only person to have won gold medals at five Games in an endurance sport and is considered as one of Britain\u2019s greatest ever Olympians.<\/p>\n

7<\/h4>\n

Both Sir Chris Hoy and fellow knight of the realm, Sir Bradley Wiggins have won seven Olympic medals. The most out of any British Olympians.<\/p>\n

112<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s been 112 years since golf was last played in the Olympic Games. With so many players pulling out this year, it\u2019ll be interesting to see who\u2019ll win.<\/p>\n
