Who's the biggest star at the Olympics?

First topic message reminder :

Who do you think is the biggest sports star at the London Olympics?

I ask this question because both Lebron James and Roger Federer were asked this question by journalists. Of course both were very respectful in deflecting the attention. This is what Federer had to say:

But asked if he was the biggest star of the Olympics, Federer deferred.

"Not me," he said. "There are great Olympians who have many medals around their necks already — other athletes, some who maybe are not so famous but have done so much for their sport as well, that we don't always talk about.

"That's the beauty of the Olympics — we will see so many great stories written and talked about in the next few weeks. I will follow it very closely.

"But obviously I think Usain Bolt and (US swim star) Michael Phelps and maybe the NBA players are very well known."

So what do you think?

Remember the question is about global sporting stardom. So who do you think is the biggest fish in this ginourmous pond?

I've put down a few candidates for a poll but please feel free to throw any others into the discussion (I'm sure I've missed loads)

Agree with the above. Bolt of, Federer at.

Usain BOLT.

What a name and what a showman!

I will land there on Friday.
