Consider the following: Matthew Pinsent and Steve Redgrave were knighted after winning gold medals at *three or four* successive Olympics; she won gold at one Olympics, a feat traditionally recognised with an MBE. Other Dames like Judi Dench and Julie Andrews were only honoured after decades of excellence in their chosen fields. Is sports so much more important than acting, writing, public service, etc. that the bar should be set lower?
