Earlier this week, Bradley Wiggins became the Briton to win the most Olympic medals ever. But his record was quickly overtaken by Sir Chris Hoy. So what makes the cyclists so individually special?
Compare and contrast. Sir Chris Hoy MBE, Bradley Wiggins MOD.
There are technical sporting questions to be asked. How do they compare on the medal table for one –
• Hoy: 4 golds, 1 silver
• Wiggins: 4 golds, 1 silver, 2 bronze.
Then there’s the diameter of their respective thighs –
• Hoy 27″
• Wiggins 16″
For more comparing and contrasting we could have gone to Cycling Weekly. But we didn’t. We went to Cosmo and Reveal magazines.
