Members Aileen McGlynn Posted September 19, 2004 Members Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Thanks everyone, It has been really hectic since we won the gold, everyone wanting to interview you. I didn't even get a chance to get up to see my family before we were whizzed off to the BBC studios to do the live interview on Grandstand. My mum did manage to persuade the officials to let her see me and give me a hug while I was waiting at the dope control. After the BBC interview, we then did a radio interview and then a piece for the news. It was amazing but not exactly the best recovery after doing a 1km. The number of people who congratulated us is fantastic and I have even been asked for my autograph We qualified for the sprint tomorrow, coming third after the Australians and Americans. We are up against the Americans first thing tomorrow morning but we thing they will go for a long one, so we will need to wait and see how it goes.

Scott D Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 2 great results.. congratulations to both our lovely ladies !! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kat Posted September 20, 2004 Members Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Well done to Aileen. Olympic gold, cool as ! Definitely been a good weekend for the wheelers. I would have posted my result myself yesterday but spent the day sleeping! 10 hours between heats and getting to bed at 4am certainly takes its toll...... No alcohol involved, honest! Winning the gold is a good feeling, especially when your mother is bouncing off the walls....... and all because George wanted a rainbow jersey!?!?!?!

Guest fatblokeonbike Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 George has provided a report on Kat's terrific effort - go see http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/indiv_pages/hair_kat.php.
