Australia has produced any number of great sportspeople and athletes, with cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman widely considered to be top of the pops? But who is the best active Australian athlete? Now is the chance to have your say.
We've compiled a list of 20 leading Australian athletes from a variety of sports into an Australia Day poll for you to nominate the best. Of course you might think an athlete from outside the list deserves top billing so the poll features also the option of A.N. Other. We hope you will join the debate with your fellow sports fans on the ESPN Australia and New Zealand Facebook page.
