Really awesome for Wigg, but am I the only one that feels like the bad facts by the news reporters kill the legitimacy of the sport? They make it sound as though a 12 year old is a four time world champion (not just age group) and holds THE distance record (again, not just age group). Wigg is a future world champ and potentially a future world distance record holder... but they make it sound like a 12 year old has already achieved these things.

*le sigh*

Congratulations to David Wiggins Jr., definitely every bit the phenom they say he is, but it just sounds bad to me to hear it reported as it was.
