"Dress up as a famous athlete" - any ideas??

[itsraininghens]

DCs have got to dress up as a famous athlete during Oympic week at school. Aside from sticking on a Daley Thompson moustache, I'm pretty stuck for ideas. It's a way off, but I'm trying not to leave it until the last minute (as usual!). Any suggestions gratefully received!

What about Eddie The Eagle?

Shattereddreams - Jesse Owens was nothing to do with the Black Power salute. That was performed many years later at 1968 Olympics by Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Jesse actually spoke out against it at the time because he didn't believe sport and politics should mix.

See! Learning politics!
My school was crap then as they taught me that!
Yep, still politics.
