Britain’s most decorated Olympic couple, Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny, stand atop the lastminute.com London Eye to wish all British athletes wheelie good luck in images released today.
With 12 Olympic golds between them, the power couple stood high above the London skyline, literally flying the flag for Britain, ahead of the world’s biggest sporting event that kicks off this week in Paris.
The most successful British female Olympian and most decorated British Olympian ever, stood 135m above the capital delivering an inspiring message of support and encouragement to their fellow athletes, ahead of leaving for Paris themselves.
Dame Laura Kenny, the UK’s most decorated female Olympian, commented, “It was great to be able to mark the next stage of this incredible summer of sport we are having, by giving our support to all the British athletes travelling out to Paris from the top of one of the most iconic landmarks in the UK, and what a way to get the adrenaline pumping!”
Sir Jason Kenny, the UK’s most decorated Olympian added “Laura and I know all too well the hard work and dedication the British athletes have had to put in to get where they are, and we also know how important it is knowing you have a nation of people willing you to win. It was an honour for us to be part of this show of support – it was just as high as it seems!”
