Here’s a tip from British double-gold medalist Rebecca Adlington on how you can win an Olympic gold medal: Have your parents promise to buy you shoes. From timesonline:
Rebecca Adlington, the first British woman to win an Olympic swimming gold medal in nearly half a century, revealed that it was designer shoes that had propelled her victory.“Well, I was promised some Jimmy Choo shoes if I win, so that’s one pair … and my mum’s promised to get me another pair of Christian Louboutin shoes,” said Rebecca, as she held court after her victory at the Water Cube.
If Michael Phelps extracted the same promise from his parents, he would be like Imelda Marcos by now.
