It has just been announced that basketballers Lauren Jackson and Andrew Gaze have been named in a list of Australia's Top 100 Olympians.

Is there anyone else they could have added from basketball to the list?

Seems to me that most people who won an individual gold medal have been listed.
Are there some names of others that should be listed despite having not won a gold medal?

Interesting to note that of the 100 LJ was one of 7 never to have won a gold medal and Gaze is the only one without a medal of any colour.
It's excellent that they recognise success other than a bagful of medals (although there are 35 swimmers in the list).

(side note) Also, the coolest name in the list is definately "Lorraine Crapp" she's my new hero.

Same on the committe for putting Steven Bradbury on the list. He fluked his gold medal by everyone in his race falling over, twice. I know people are gonna say "a gold medal's a gold medal", but seriously!!
