Noble effort keeps Gavin feeling good

Long after he swam, cycled and ran his way around Hyde Park and its environs, Irish triathlete Gavin Noble proved he is equally impressive standing still.

The 31-year-old had just finished 23rd of a 55-man field in the Olympic Games recording a time of 1:49.47 and the wall of microphones and camera crews awaiting was just as he imagined it would be.

“I’ve already had this conversation a 100 million times with reporters in my mind,” he said of his first Olympic experience.
