Editor’s desk Olympic values
with Bruce Oxley
I’m sure, like me, many of you will have been glued to your television screens over the last month or so watching the Olympics and the Paralympic Games in London. As well as some spectacular performances, world records and heart-breaking failures, the stories behind the scenes have been just as fascinating.
None more so than that of dentist turned world-class cyclist Wendy Houvenaghel (see p10). A native of Co Londonderry, Wendy headed
to the London games as a triple world champion and had picked up a silver medal in the individual pursuit in Beijing four years ago. At 37, her participation in the team pursuit this time around was to be her swansong, as she planned on retiring from the sport after the games.
As it was, she was the only member of her team not to race once in the competition as her three team-mates clocked a world record time to win the gold medal.
