Ah, Seb Coe was my other answer but for some reason Daley popped into my head!

Well done to everyone, and thanks to @Mi-Amigo for holding enough White Room's to get to 1500 questions.

[pgn]

Nearly put Ovett in for the Trophy Q - but reckoned as he's Sir Steve Ovett OBE and Seb Coe is Lord Coe (of somewhere) KBE, it probably was the latter. 🏅

Great quiz, thank you @Mi-Amigo and well done all participants. 👍
