Bang on mate. Whats the point trying to use the likes of Hoy as an example of success and to promote minority sports to our potential future athletes when none of them will see it

Looked like a great celebration on the evening news for Chris Hoy's fantastic achievements. Well done to him, just superb.

There was a similar celebration for the local hero, Rebecca Addlington here on the same night. Good to see these terrific Olympians being lauded for their years of hard work.
