Sir Steve's Sporting Giants
(l-r) Stuart Campbell (handball), Chris Gregory (volleyball), Sir Steve Redgrave, Frances Nicholls (rowing) and Benjamin Johnson (rowing)
British Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave showcased four of his Sporting Giants in London.

(l-r) Stuart Campbell, Chris Gregory, Frances Nicholls and Benjamin Johnson are among the 58 athletes selected from over 5,000 who applied one year ago to join the scheme to encourage tall people into three Olympic sports - volleyball, rowing and handball.

The aim is to produce Olympians for the London 2012 Games.

And in Redgrave, who won five Olympic golds between 1984-2000, the athletes certainly have someone to look up to.
