In the build-up to London 2012 there is no one better qualified to talk about great Olympic memories than five-time gold medal winner Sir Steve Redgrave. It is a world of drama and spectacular achievement that ranges from the heights of Jesse Owens to Seb Coe's battles with Steve Ovett and the plain crazy world of Eric the Eel and the Jamaican Bobsled team.

Launching his new book in Henley, Sir Steve will recount his favourite stories and reveal what it is that makes these moments truly great. All the stars of past and present are included; Nadia Comenech, Mark Spitz, Fanny Blankers-Koen, Bob Beamon, Ed Moses, Flojo, Michael Johnson, Eric Liddell, Daley Thompson, Chris Boardman, Cassius Clay and Kelly Holmes. He also reflects on some of the more infamous moments of Olympic history - the Munich massacre of 1972, Mary Decker Slaney's clash with Zola Budd in Los Angeles and Ben Johnson's disqualification at Seoul.
