Isn't it typical - you wait 109 years with no British podium place, then two come along at once... laugh.gif

It's a bit like the upcomung London Olympics. Cycling is the only sporting event where Great Britain have a realistic chance of winning the gold medal. Maybe diving too but I'm not quite as convinced.

Still, it's brilliant to see Britain performing well in sporting events. biggrin.gif

There's loads of events where we have realistic chances of winning gold medals!

Unless this branches out beyond just talking about the cycling it's getting moved to Sports.

Off-topic as in not fitting in anywhere else. If you're just going to talk about the cycling then the Sports forum would make more sense.

I didn't even know there *was* one - it took me several years to even know *this* one existed! tongue.gif

I suppose ignorance is bliss. Goodbye biggrin.gif

Congratulations to Wiggins, incredible achievement although the Independent doing a two page spread today asking "is this Britain's greatest ever sportsman?" seemed a bit far. Was great to see him lead Cavendish into the sprint finish as well.

Although he did incredibly well I definitely do not think it is Britain's greatest sporting achievement by any stretch, especially since Team Sky orchestrated everything so Wiggins would win out of their team!

No I'd say winning the football world cup ranks higher even though it was a century ago.
