Jade Gets Gold

Day 6, 24-Mar-06


Jade was crowned 2006 Games champion despite an electric display from Plat'num in the 100m sprint.

The man in green wrapped-up Gold with a third-place finish that sees him a massive 10 points clear of his nearest rival. That title belongs to Plat'num, who held off a fierce challenge from JK to win the final event with a blistering time of 12.33.

JK's performance saw him shake off the tag of under-achiever and clinch a bronze medal, edging the unlucky Peter into fourth place. Not for the first time Adam brought up the rear, but he can be proud of a respectable final tally of 13 points.

The underdog paid tribute to his fellow athletes, saying: "Full respect for everyone for letting me take part so late on."

Overcome by emotion, the victory sent Jade cliché-crazy. "I'm over the moon, lost for words, totally blown away, yeeees!" he blurted.

Plat'num basked in his own victory on the night, but admitted: "That was tighter than I thought. I didn't think it would be that close."

After taking his place on the podium before an adoring crowd in the pouring rain, Jade regained his composure, saying: " Throughout the whole competition, I don't know where it's all come from. This is a moment I'll never forget."
