So? Who's the world tiddlywinks champion?
Now if he was a potatohead playing for Man U that's different.

Shocking, isn't it? That's not normally the case.

Anyhoo, from the BBC sport site...

Jaroslav Kulhavy of the Czech Republic and Canada's Catharine Pendrel won the cross-country races at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Champery, Switzerland.

World mountain bike champion Catharine Pendrel of Canada
Kulhavy clinched gold ahead of former world champion Nino Schurter of Switzerland and Olympic champion Julien Absalon of France.

Pendrel, victorious at the recent London 2012 test event, won the five-lap women's race ahead of Poland's Maja Wloszczowska, the Olympic silver medalist.

There was a surprise success for Great Britain in the non-Olympic downhill event, with Danny Hart winning the gold.

Not much of a mention, but it is there.

Yeah, keep it that way too!
Could you imagine the health and safety version of a downhill course!
