I got to hold an Olympic gold medal!!!!
I was lucky enough to be at the Scottish olympic medal winners' press conference earlier today and met Chris Hoy and Ross Edgar, our 2 medal winning cyclists. I even got to hold one of Chris Hoy's gold medals and Ross Edgar's silver medal! These guys are fantastic - the best performers in the world in their sport, but still so modest, approachable and completely down to earth. They are a huge inspiration to me, and I am sure to everyone else with an interest in sport. Many congratulations to them - they fully deserve the tremendous reception they have had from the Scottish and British public.

The internet is a wonderful thing for finding out things like that! Had done not bad in trying to remember and just confirmed it from the internet!
Hoy was absolutely superb in the Olympics - superb. Lucky you getting to not only meet them, but to hold a gold medal!
G'day - sounds like you've had a great weekend!
Did you leave a comment on my blog about Iain's UTMB? I accidently deleted it and he would have loved to read what you wrote - sorry to be a pain but could you write something similar....
hope the running is going well
best wishes
