Britain’s most prolific Olympian, with a record seven gold medals, Bradley Wiggins cemented his reputation as one of the most gifted cyclists ever to grace the sport at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Ten days after becoming the first Brit to win the Tour de France, the Chorley athlete clinched gold in the Games’ time trial event, riding the 44km course in a sensational 50 minutes and 39 seconds. Few people can claim to have won medals in five consecutive Olympic Games – even fewer can claim to have Wiggins’ magnetic charisma.
