London - Following his latest victory, Bradley Wiggins he sat confined to a chair, his place in cycling history, the history of the Olympics and the history of British sport said. His eyes were put in danger about him displaced.
when he called a celebration loudest. So Wiggins jumped on his bike and did what they do best again Wednesday afternoon. He cycled.
He traveled outside the arrival area, away from the palace and the streets. Rode up to his wife and kissed her, then shook hands to his two sons.
Ride and waved to the masses, the fans who have covered every inch of pavement parking, which pressed against the barricades and shouted so loudly that the whole scene felt less like a motorcycle racing game and as a calcium.
"I never want to experience something new," said Wiggins.
And even fans. An hour after Wiggins has collected his fourth gold medal in the Olympic cycle road individual time trial, sat in a room full of journalists. There was still processing the events of the past 10 days.
The story, the book of Wiggins, started with the Tour de France, which has won Wiggins July 22 to become the first Briton to finish in possession of the famous yellow jersey.
No cyclist had never left the Tour de France and an Olympic podium in the same year to Wiggins completed twice Wednesday afternoon.
The Wiggins separately for all cyclists who came before him. But the medal meant more. This meant I now had seven Olympic medals, enough to hang in the closet as a collection of ties.
The seventh Wiggins went next to Sir Steve Redgrave, who was the most productive British Olympic Wiggins broke their relationship, appropriately, at Hampton Court Palace, the British flag flying high.
Someone asked how he thought Wiggins to make sense of all this.
"Vodka tonic helps," he said. "I have some tonight."
So Britain has followed the revolution in cycling, it seemed unlikely that even 10 years ago. Wiggins not just put another gold medal around their neck on Wednesday, but Chris Froome, his friend and teammate of Sky Team, won the bronze. Tony Martin of Germany won the silver medal and Taylor Phinney, USA, was fourth.
If it seemed to be barely 10 days Froome was second at the Tour de France after he helped launch Wiggins of mountains, valleys and down to Paris, well, it was 10 days. Here they were together again in his hymn.
Among the celebration, which was attended Froome track cycling, sports in which Britain is considered the strongest, will start on Thursday.
The English team has won seven of 10 Calle on the track in Beijing in 2008, while changes in the rules that limit competition in each country for an event at these Olympic Games, the English are required to collect a number of medals in this discipline.
The trial on Wednesday, probably, reported that a then the start of cycling medal haul for the London Games.
Wiggins, unbeaten in time tests on the road this season of track cycling and won six Olympic medals, should be knighted, and now Chris, who won three gold medals in Beijing.
"Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come," said Froome.
The victory helped erase the pain of Saturday, when pilots in Britain, perhaps tired of winning the grueling Tour, could not put Mark Cavendish can win the first gold medal of these Games, the host country.
The local fans clogged the streets near the finish line of the road race, only to see the pilots in the speed of Kazakhstan and Colombia to the finish line together. Cavendish was 28.
None expected victory, the hosts expect to win his first event - but - the London Games. Came not in cycling. But come on Wednesday.
It became fashionable, with Heather Stanning and Helen Glover without dominating the event, couples Dorney Lake.
This product is the euphoria and relief of victory among the British, who had seen four days of events - swimming, gymnastics and horse riding, among others - without a single Olympic champion who could call her.
Glover and Stanning led the race of 2,000 meters from start to finish. It was the first gold medal in rowing in British women.
"It will be the first pages of the newspaper tomorrow morning," said the BBC commentators program. "They are well-known names. There will be a day that changed the lives of two young women forever."
Wiggins rode up to the starting line on Wednesday with the same vision in their head. I knew that would not be easy, despite his status as favorite. Froome said the road race on Saturday as exhausted British pilots, trained hard for two days later.
How to emphasize their response, Froome sat in the press conference as a man 80 years old, being careful to get the chair, his tendons of the hock called pleasure, please stop.
Froome said the British pilots took the crowd through his exhaustion and during the course of about 27.3 miles. Describe the atmosphere as Froome, goosebumps rose along his forearms and his voice became choked with emotion.
He noted the fans who have attended meetings of the Council, he called and called Acclaimed more for cyclists by name. Some fans wore thick sideburns Wiggins brand. Other layers waving flags as English, or wavy Wiggs "Go!" Signals.
The scene is chaos confined to the finish. Traders sought-Wiggins streets. Two helicopters flying over. Fans beat the signs along the fence.
Wednesday, however, Wiggins perhaps best embodies the rise of cycling in Britain as a track cyclist was cycling road, with a record number of Olympic medals and Tour de France championship.
Its success is likely to inspire children to have to keep riding, cycling and the cycle is becoming more entrenched.
Wiggins took the side of the Olympic victory.
