IIRC that was during Fatboy Slim’s segment during the closing ceremony, I believe it was around the time the huge octopus was brought on the stage. I don’t have the video anymore so I can’t tell you the exact moment.

No SPOTY nomination again this year but Alistair proves, once again, that he’s a wonderful athlete and deserves tons of respect.

Get excited guys, Alistair’s going to be the special Olympians version of Superstars this Christmas.
You live in the UK and wear UK size 9 trainers? You can win a pair of adidas XCS 3 shoes signed by the Brownlee brothers! Go read all about that here on the Wiggle blog.
(disclaimer: I am in no way linked to Wiggle. No money is made, there is no other insensitive besides the fact that I just thought that it would be nice to spread the word around, etc.)
Congrats, Jonny! Quite an incredible year!
(For those wondering where Alistair was, “Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee had hoped to race in Auckland to support Jonny but has been forced to rest after having his appendix removed last month, heading off to Brazil on holiday instead.”)
The Brownlee brothers have revealed an 89-year-old man sent them a letter after their heroics at the Olympics - including a £10 note for each of them.
Alistair won gold and younger brother Jonny won bronze in the triathlon in London and tens of thousands welcomed them home to Leeds on Monday.
But it was the letter from the pensioner that touched them most.
“He wrote that he had watched us and that it was one of the best things he had seen in his life,” Alistair said.
“He also included a tenner for both of us and said that he wasn’t putting his name or address on it so that we couldn’t send it back!
“I don’t know what I’m going to do with it yet. I’ve been so busy with media and everything else since that I haven’t had a chance to do anything with it.
“I’ve had the letter in one pocket and my gold medal in the other.”
