She got us another gold in the 800m Freestyle Swimming. She also broke the world record (which has been unbroken for 19 years). She got us our 1st medal, now she has given us our 4th! Her friend was also in the race and came 8th for GBR, but called for Rebecca to get a damehood. I agree

Rebecca Addlington - another gold for GB!

I think a Damehood is a bit OTT... People work their whole lives to earn that kind of reward and she should get one for winning in the olympics?
Becoming a Dame is about making a life-time contribution to the community. Kelly Holmes had to compete in hundreds of events before she got Damehood.

Not really, Kelly Holmes got hers after winning 2 golds in the 2004 Olympics. Before then she didn't really do amazing in other competitions, getting mainly silvers and bronzes, and didn't compete in hundreds of events at all. Plus she already had an MBE for her services to the British Army.

She may deserve something but certainly not a Damehood.
It's rare for someone to receive a damehood without getting an MBE or CBE first... They must do something really special to go straight to dame.
As for "I dont see why not" .. I do agree she does deserve something. Definetly definetly. It's just I disagree with her being a dame for it. Dame's are special people and if that wicked witch won't even give Julie Walters one, Becky don't deserve one

Julie Walters has the rest of her life to wait, Addlington needs one NOW! Originally Posted by BlueTango

I agree it would be OTT as BlueTango said. The Olympics is over rated, I don't believe really someone should get a damehood just for that. She hasn't acheived enough yet.
