Lance Armstrong

When Lance Armstrong won his seventh straight Tour de France this past summer, he proved beyond a doubt that he is one of the greatest athletes of all time. Lance rode a strategically flawless race to win what is considered the most grueling sporting event around. What makes this champion a legend? His life both on and off the bike continues to inspire millions.

Oprah: Do you acknowledge for yourself that you are one of the greatest...ever?

Lance: It's better that you say that, and I don't say that. I'd rather just sit back and let the results speak for themselves, and smart people like you or whoever else can declare that.
