Lance Armstrong

His achievement in cycling - 7 consecutive Tour de France wins -- puts him as one of the greatest athletes of all time.

He takes up marathons, barely trains, has a broken shin he does not know about until a week later, and he runs a sub-3 hour marathon . . .

How about him winning the 1993 World Cycling Championship at 21 years old. Then, overcoming cancer and then winning the Tour de France 7 straight times. He's not my hero because he won the TdF 7 times...he's my hero because of what he overcame and how he is active off the bicycle helping other people. That is why he is my hero.

Overcoming cancer to become of the greatest cyclist of all time, not only does he demonstrate athletic ability but a will and fight inside of him that is very uncommon among people. He is a true champion.

Hello... he won the France bike race w/ cancer! what more is to say?
