Sir Chris Hoy - fantastic, well deserved.
Lewis Hamilton MBE - brilliant, all in favour of that.
Rebecca Adlington OBE - what? So you win two gold medals four years ago and it gets you a Dame, yet this time round it's only an OBE? Is running > swimming in the eyes of the Queen (well, the people that do these lists in her name)? Better than that, we win medals on the track all the time - that was our first swimming gold in 40 years! And she got TWO!!!!
What's the order of these things anyway? Bradley Wiggins is getting a CBE for his two medals, and I'm getting the feeling that OBE > CBE and he's been screwed again.
Is there ever any logic to what award you get?
