Miguel Angel Jimenez is arguably the coolest professional sportsman on the planet.
A man who's unusual stretching techniques and fondness for a fine Cuban cigar have been a highly enjoyable side-show to some pretty decent golf over the last 30 years or so, and Jimenez's popularity, much like a fine red wine, has improved with age.
We once issued a guide as to how you can be more like Miguel Angel Jimenez, and if you weren't luck enough to read that, then this quote will do a pretty good job of explaining what he's all about. When asked what he thinks of the prospect of competing in the Rio 2016 Olympics, Miguel's reply was pure gold:

We would love it too.
He certainly paints a vivid picture, and one that we would greatly enjoy seeing, so let's hope that he does infact catch the plane to Rio.
Stay classy, Miguel.
