16 sporting stars to know

There are 16 British sporting stars to know (counting the ice dancers Torvill and Dean as one). The test likes to ask who did what in which sport, and it often uses people from the same sport as the wrong answers: two cyclists, for example, or two wheelchair marathon winners. Use the cards below to get to know them first; each person's full record and dates are in the story "Star records and famous moments".
