Good Olympics Story

Just ran across this nice article which seem to me to capture the true olympic spirit. Olympics: Cycling - Success will not change humble Chris Hoy | Sport | The Observer


Excerpt Triple GOLD MEDALIST CYCING ACE Chris Hoy ....
"Next day, Hoy meets some Scottish journalists. One puts it to him that: 'In the last 24 hours everyone has been offering an opinion on Chris Hoy. But what does Chris Hoy think of Chris Hoy?'
Hoy doesn't miss a beat: 'Chris Hoy thinks that the day Chris Hoy refers to Chris Hoy in the third person is the day that Chris Hoy disappears up his own arse.'"

Perfect

We need more people who are high-achievers in any field who are able to keep everything in perspective.

Not a surprise that he is a Scot. As my father, from Glasgow, used to say - there are only two kinds of people in the world, those who are Scots and those that wish they were.
