This is the greatest! Only a obnubilate associated with excellence because Wiggins trips in to historical past upon time associated with beauty

It was beautiful, so beautiful. It was brilliant, quite, quite brilliant. And it was British. Uniquely, insanely, just joyously British.
There are points of reference in our sporting  history — Steve Redgrave in a boat, Sebastian Coe on the track, but being a home Olympics, somehow this had more.
Do you know the film The Italian Job? It was like that.

There is a perfect moment when the heist has come off and the news has reached home shores. Its criminal mastermind, Mr Bridger, played with impeccable bearing by Noel Coward, walks from the plushly appointed cell to the acclaim of his fellow prison inmates. As one, they bang their metal mugs on the balcony, in a showing of national pride. Rat-tat, rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat-tat: England.

The same rhythm, the same sentiment echoed around the grounds of Hampton Court Palace yesterday, except this time it was all for one man. The crowd beat their tattoo on the boards lining the last leg of his route. Rat-tat, rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat-tat: Wiggins.
Bradley Wiggins had brought home, not the first gold medal for Great Britain at these Games, but almost certainly the most memorable. Whatever happens from here it will be hard to top this.

Here was a stunning display of strength, speed and endurance, a performance of pure domination, Wiggins the winner by a street, quite literally considering this was a road race. He would not look out of place in The Italian Job, either. Not with those sideburns.

He threw his head back on the podium and raised his arms in the air. His medal total now makes him the most decorated Olympian in British history.

We have already had one debate this summer about whether Wiggins is the greatest sportsman this country has produced; now there is sure to be another. This time, however, he has the facts to make the case, as much as individual opinions.

This was Wiggins’s fourth Olympic gold medal, to add to a silver and two bronze. No British athlete has won seven. Redgrave claimed six. The greatest? Increasingly, the tag is irresistible.

Fittingly, the medallists at Hampton Court Palace were given seats on purple and gold thrones. They were supposed to imply majesty, but looked more like a reminder of David Beckham’s wedding. They did not seem quite Wiggins’s style. Instead of resting, he set off back down the course to find his wife, Cath, and his family, passing the rows of spectators who had cheered him home. He had a lot of thank-yous to say.

Wiggins adores cycling, possesses a passion for it that has endured since childhood. To see his sport, so long at the margins, now at the heart of British life must fill his heart with joy. The feeling is mutual.

After so many near misses this week, so many stumbles and frustrations, yesterday’s gold medals were emphatic. This time Great Britain’s coach did not end up dangling over a cliff, the gold tantalisingly out of reach. It was not like the ending of that film at all.
Rowers Heather Stanning and Helen Glover had triumphed in fine style at Eton Dorney in the morning, and Wiggins won his 27.3-mile race by a quite incredible 42 seconds.

Time it. Look at your watch and let that hand tick past. Imagine if the riders had started together and you were standing at the finishing line waiting for silver medallist Tony Martin of Germany to come through. Some delay, isn’t it?

Banished are the thoughts that this could be an anti-climatic Olympics for Great Britain. If it is believed that one success inspires another, then Wiggins is the nation’s catalyst. Already a hero as the first winner of the Tour de France, his presence and better weather than predicted brought out some people who risked considerably more than a sportsman’s injury for the best vantage point on Hampton Court Road.
They clambered on to roofs and small balconies to cheer him down the final straight and he did not disappoint. It had already been announced to roars that Wiggins had closed the physical gap on Martin — not his time differential, which was already well inside — to 800 metres and he was fast approaching.
Martin came through, better than Chris Froome’s time to take silver, at worst. Then, almost immediately, Wiggins arrived. Legs pumping, body perfectly still, a slim frame on a slim frame.

Impossibly fast, given the screaming resistance a time-trialist will feel from every muscle by this stage in the race, he was a blur of Olympic perfection.

If the Queen has time to go parachuting with James Bond, she could have done worse than to drop in here at that moment, sword at the ready. Arise Sir Bradley? Why even wait? How comfortably that inevitability will sit with a chap who was more thrilled to get a congratulatory text from Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr than a royal blessing when he won the Tour de France, it is hard to say.

Wiggins still goes out with a target on the front of his cycling helmet, a nod to his status as King of the Mods. It is part of his charm, a British fixation that few beyond these shores will understand. How to explain to a European disciple of road cycling that your other bike is a Vespa? Not that he could go much faster on one, mind you.

Watching him, it is possible to forget that only last Saturday he remained at the front of a strength-sapping peloton to try to get his team-mate Mark Cavendish a medal in the road race, or that he had spent his summer traversing France as Europe’s most successful cyclist.

‘We’ve not seen the best of him yet,’ said Sean Yates, one of his coaches, but how can that be? What can he do to out-strip the pure emotion of yesterday? Even Wiggins seemed confused.
‘I don’t think my sporting career will ever top this now,’ he said. ‘That’s it. It will never, ever get better. Incredible. It had to be gold today or nothing. What’s the point of seven medals if they’re not the right colour? So, mainly it’s about the four golds.’ And then, without missing a beat: ‘Now I have to go to Rio and go for five.’
That is what it is like, being Britain’s greatest Olympian, that is what drives a man: an insatiable thirst, a quite incomprehensible desire to achieve, and keep achieving, no matter how much it hurts.

For never forget that it hurts. It hurts a lot. It may look like fun, it may be a moment we think we all share, but only one of us has broken the pain barrier to cross that line. And do it again. And again. And one more time. And then some more. And keep doing it until he has flown past the markers set by every competitor in British Olympic history. By every citizen of these isles. And certainly, as King of the Mods, by any bloody Teddy Boy.

Sun coloured mesh panel also feature on the sleeves of the shirt for better breathability in core sweat zones.

The reason why Premier League clubs tend to be hurrying abroad with regard to pre-season?

All 20 of England’s top-flight sides are leaving native shores to help build their global profiles this summer, but why are they doing so and what might be the pitfalls?
ANALYSIS
By George Ankers
It might be an even wetter British summer than usual, but it is still an oddity to see not a single Premier League club miss the opportunity to spend their pre-season away from home.
In 2011, 18 of England’s top 20 sides used their preparation time to jet to all corners of the world, and this year, Fulham’s announcement of a trip to Germany made it a full house.
While the Cottagers join the likes of Norwich City and Southampton in making the now-almost-dull-by-comparison move to play two or three matches in central Europe, Manchester City, Manchester United, who kick-off their tour of South Africa on Wednesday, and Chelsea are leading the way with high-profile jaunts to “key markets” in Asia and North America. But why do Premier League clubs spend their summers this way?
The root of the answer, of course, is money. As Barclays’ jaw-dropping £120 million three-year renewal of the division’s naming rights and primary sponsorship – an astonishing rise of £13m per year – proved, the English league is by some distance the biggest fish in the financial pond, and the rewards are there for those who can grasp them.
“Like any brand, they’re looking to access emerging markets or markets, potentially, that they’re weak in,” explains Adam Raincock of Synergy Sponsorship.

“They will look at it purely tactically from a business-operation point of view in terms of ‘what are the emerging markets?’ or ‘what market do we want to go into?’ and then they’ll use the tour as their marketing tool in order to access that particular market.
“Manchester United have been everywhere from the Far East to the US – which they concentrated on for a couple of years – and it’s not by chance. The tour is the best way that they can launch or re-launch in a particular market into which you’re taking the product, because people can see the brand in action.”
With so many people in every corner of the globe glued to the television, the prospect of providing face-to-face context for that fanatical interest is lucrative.
Be it a Manchester United telecoms partnership in Pakistan or a Steven Gerrard-themed hotel in Indonesia, there is no industry that doesn’t want to be associated with the Premier League.
So a trip to, for example, Kuala Lumpur, where Manchester City will head at the end of July, is a great way for the club to attract new local sponsors and use those sponsors to help gain exposure and, therefore, long-term support.
There will also be some influence from existing sponsors, as Raincock continues: “If you look at Arsenal, they were going to go to Nigeria this year. Emirates are obviously their principal sponsor and if you look at the Emirates chief executive, last November he talked about China and Africa as being their key markets that they’re looking to expand their route network into.
“I think they’re key sponsors as well, so they’ll play a part in determining where the tour goes, and obviously for Emirates, a tour to Africa is very lucrative to them as well as Arsenal.
“I would still say that the primary reason is to develop new sponsorships, though. These big clubs, they split the globe up – so Man United will have an official mobile phone supplier in Asia, one in Africa, one in Europe and things like that, so they really carve the globe up and sell different packages in different areas.”
For all the bean-counting it is, of course, also an opportunity to give back directly to those supporters, who watch every week at ungodly hours of the night and spend so much on merchandise and TV subscriptions, by playing matches and making public appearances to meet their heroes. The Premier League may only listen to its heart when it can make money at the same time, but it does at least have one.
That said, another reason why clubs are so keen to play their pre-season games overseas is purely to get bums on seats. With preparatory matches being what they are, and Britain being a small enough country that most people can travel to see the big teams play during a regular season, attendances are low at home.
If Chelsea fly to USA, though, as they have done frequently in recent years, they can attract 69,000 fans for a game in Seattle and afford to charge essentially a regular-season ticket price in the process. A full, thrilled crowd is a bank-balance boost – and probably inspires the players to take the games more seriously, too.
Sometimes the decision is not so much about breaking new ground as merely keeping up with your rivals. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had steadfastly ignored the big summer tours for a long time before finally relenting and embarking on a pre-season tour of Asia in 2011, and the Gunners are doing the same this time around.
The Frenchman called it a “compromise” but, when the north Londoners must compete domestically with the ever-growing financial might of City, United and Chelsea, failure to keep up out of season could mean failure to do so during it.
“If you look at the Arsenal case – and I’m speculating here – I think that was a battle between the commercial and playing sides of it,” says Mr Raincock. “In terms of Arsene Wenger not wanting to take his squad halfway around the world to play in games that, to him, don’t matter in terms of development of his squad.
“On the other side, you’ve got the commercial team going ‘look, we’re falling behind Man United’ and things like that. I think for a couple of years there was a battle between those two sides of it, but ultimately, I think what they did to bring Wenger round, they needed to show the cold, hard commercials of such a tour, and in the end the commercial won out.
“They did risk falling behind the big clubs because this is where all the money’s coming from, the emerging markets, and the top Premier League clubs are in a great position to be able to capitalise on them.
“[The trip to Nigeria] was cancelled more for operational reasons than commercial so certainly, going forward, I think you’ll see Arsenal following suit with the big clubs.”
So it is that Arsenal will face Roberto Mancini’s side in Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Stadium on July 27, the first day of the London Olympics. That in itself will be a fascinating test of football’s pulling power, to see whether an essentially-meaningless match will be able to hold its own in the ratings stakes or be drowned under the Games’ pull. The Premier League’s rampant marketing drive suggests that it should still draw in plenty of interest.
Indeed, the sheer appeal of the league itself might create some openings for the smaller clubs to get a piece of the pie. “Much like the action on the field in the Premier League, there’s going to be the haves and the have-nots,” Raincock adds.
“People talk about a two-speed Premier League in terms of playing, but I also think that, in terms of commercials, there’s a massive two-speed system where the big clubs are securing these deals.
“It all comes down to ‘what’s your reach?’, so Manchester United compared to Swansea City, the reach is clearly massively different. What these smaller clubs can look to do is ride on the coat-tails of the Premier League, because the Premier League itself is a huge global brand.
“Swansea being part of that gives them certain leverage in markets but it’s clearly not going to be on the same scale as the bigger clubs. But it’s good that they’re trying to, because they’re identifying the opportunity and trying to capitalise on it.”
We may have yet to see the potential pitfalls of these big tours at work. More frequent and extensive touring could bring concerns over player burnout before the hard work even begins, with matches in places like Abu Dhabi and Singapore often played in intense heat, not to mention the many hours of relentless travelling to and fro.
If the Community Shield is soon tempted to follow the Italian Supercoppa’s lead and move abroad as well, such an effect could start to pile up.
For now, though, the positives of the far-reaching pre-season tour are far outweighing the negatives for England’s elite – which is why this country’s training grounds will be 20 squads emptier for these next few weeks.
