I have designed my own ranking system to give each hero a rating score. For each of these heroes, you are asked to rate them on five different criteria which have been determined to be the most important attributes of a sporting hero. The five criteria are listed below. For more details about these criteria, and why these were chosen, see What Makes a Hero?

1. Skill — a hero will be very skillful in their chosen sport
2. Character — they know they are a role-models and act accordingly.
3. Family — they have good family relationships and relate well with people.
4. Charity work — they strive to be a positive influence in the community, giving back as much as they receive.
5. Popular culture — a great hero will be greater than the sport, well known in greater circles.
