|What makes a great Olympian?|
|Around the Academy:
Sir Steven Redgrave and Michael Johnson are two of the greatest athletes to grace the Olympic stage.
In 2000 Redgrave rowed his way to an incredible fifth Olympic gold at Sydney.
And at the same Olympics, Johnson sprinted to 400m glory, making it five golds for the American running machine.
They reached the top of their sports, and just stayed there, year after year after year.
So how did they do it?

The very best.
