 | I have had a revelation. There's an automobile advert on UK television at present, in which Matthew Pinsett, holder of three Olympic rowing gold medals, demonstrates the three new models of a particular marque. He then dismounts and, as he heads for the river to tone those oh-so-perfect thighs, says to camera, "Only three? I know just how you feel."
A reference to his former Olympic partner, Steve Redgrave, holder of a whopping five Olympic rowing gold medals, an achievement he will never be able to better, despite his own achievements being nothing short of egregious.
Then, the revelation. Steve Redgrave isn't actually very good at rowing. He's just a fine networker with a good eye for talent. His three coxless companions basically carried him to all five Olympic gold medals, and could have been even quicker if they'd had a halfway competent fourth man. But he's so likable they took the risk.
Is this a depressing fact, or the greatest nobility? Who knows?
