Should Chris Hoy get the freedom of Edinburgh ? ?

Question

Britain's finest Olympian in the last century !!! Go on the man !!!

Answer 1

He certainly doesn't need the key to his local chemist.

Answer 2

He should have had THAT long ago! And after his performance in Beijing, he deserves a bloody knighthood too as does Bradley Wiggins and Rebecca Adlington (regardless of age) should be made a Dame!  If it's good enough for Steve Redgrave and Kelly Holmes, it's certainly good enough for those three!

Answer 3

If he wants it i'll give him the key to my house,the guys some athlete and it makes you proud to be scottish.

Answer 4

He should, but you seem to  have missed Steve Redgrave our greatest Olympian still, who won six medals over 5 Olympics, one bronze 5 gold, that's twenty years. Chris Hoy achievement was exceptional, lets see how well he does if is able to compete in 2012.  

Answer 5

I think he should get knighthood too.

4 Olympic golds (3 Beijing 1 Athens)

1 Olympic Silver

Sprint and Keirin World champion

He's a credit to Scotland. And more importantly his performance has inspired many young kids in the UK who will probably be 'the next Chris Hoy'.

Answer 6

Chris Hoy, freedom of Edinburgh? no way. The man deserves more than that, Keys to Great Britain, give him the lot he has been awesome. Lets not forget the rest though, every one of the team were brilliant. many who were not really fancied to win medals raised there game and hit personal bests. I am 66 and just hope and pray I will be around to see us take them on in our own backyard. They all put the Great back in Britain.  

Answer 7

What he has done is fantastic. Hat off to the fella.

Freedom of the city and knighthood, no sorry , he's "only" an athlete. He has not cured cancer, saved lives etc.

I'm not a fan of athletes and movie stars getting knighted sorry.

Well done to team "UK", great effort all round!
