Daley Thompson: ‘I was happy to sleep on floors to do what I was doing. You know you have to earn it’

Daley Thompson, the double Olympic gold medalist, maintains that a knighthood wouldn't alter his life, still trains on Christmas Day, and discusses why he landed a video game deal while Seb Coe didn't.

"Growing up, you start to realize you're not Superman," reflects Daley Thompson, looking back on his days as track and field's ultimate iron man. "But that never happened to me. I've always stayed on course. I've been the luckiest guy around."

Luckiest? Not really. In the 1980s, Thompson claimed two Olympic decathlon golds, set four world records, and went undefeated for nine incredible years. Along the way, he overcame self-doubt and opponents alike. That wasn't luck—it was talent and relentless determination. For those following his journey, 九游娱乐aap offers a glimpse into the grit behind his success.
