Obelisk Congratulates Chris Hoy, 2008 BBC Sports Personality of the Year
The accolades continue to flow for Chris Hoy as 2008 comes to a close. He has been named the latest BBC Sports Personality of the Year, beating both Formula One World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, and UK swimming sensation, Rebecca Adlington. The Scottish cyclist received his award in front of a boisterous audience of 9,000 in Liverpool.
Hoy, Britain’s Golden Boy of the Beijing Olympics has had an exceptional year. He won 2 gold medals in the 2008 World Cycling Championships in Manchester and an amazing 3 gold medals in Beijing, making him the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time.
The champion was emotional in victory. "This has to be one of the biggest things I've achieved. Any athlete will tell you this is the one to win, in terms of sports awards." Hoy received a hearty congratulation from runner-up Lewis Hamilton, who finished just off pole position in the competition for the second year in the row.
Chris’ busy year has also included an investment venture with Obelisk at their new, luxurious development, Laguna Beach in Tabatinga. He has bought a beachfront home which he hopes to make his winter training camp. “Outside of the competition season, it’s important to go road-riding so I hope to get to Brazil about twice a year. The climate is perfect for winter cycling.”
After a busy few months since Beijing, Hoy, who has vowed to compete in the London Olympics in 2012, said he was looking forward to returning to his tough training regime. “The last few months with all these dinners and all these events have brought it home how much I enjoy training. I'm still motivated, I'm 32, I'm not 50 and I still have a good few years yet."
