Like how both you and @awavey posted the same photo.

Well I only saw the Hoban post above and didn't spot it had already been posted.

Parents will be extra motivated to win the points competitions in Copenhagen Sprints this weekend!

En tur i Himmelskibet?: Spøjs præmie i Copenhagen Sprint

Gad vide, hvad rytterne vil sige til en tur i Rutschebanen, Dæmonen, Det Gyldne Tårn og Himmelskibet?

A shame there aren't a husband and a wife with four children riding the race.

Any explanation why for those of us that don't speak Danish?

You don't know how to use Google Translate? You're old...

The winners of the point competitions in the two editions of the Copenhagen Sprint will get prize of two nights at Hotel Tivoli for two adults and two kids, including breakfast, free entrance to Tivoli - including free ride passes, and a voucher for 2,000 DKKR for the parks' restaurants. They'll also get 1,400 Euro in cash. (Well, they'll probably get them as a bank transfer.)

Did British Cycling come up with a pretty nice prize?

Or did they just both decide to get ice cream?

Cue debate about the imbalance of prize funds in men's and women's racing.

Easy fix ,prize money should be divided by kilometers raced, if a women's race is @25-50% shorter, prizes should reflect that ..everything equal, per kilometer raced

How does that relate to ice cream scoops?

 

[Izzyeviel]

5 scoops a mile, and a flake for every 30 (miles, not scoops - that would be silly)

Smaller scoops I guess.. " cue debate about prize money imbalance " post #133

Which was a humorous quip in relation to the photos quoted in that post. I really wouldn't have chosen a thread about silly prizes and embarrassing podium photos to initiate serious debate.

Don't take it seriously then.. Easy stuff.!!

I think Toms Skujins wins the prize (sic) for odd prizes at nationals.

its a traditional Oak leaf crown apparently handed out during midsummers.

the women get a crown of flowers instead which for some reason meant Id expected this

instead we got this

literally Sam asked for two scoops, Millie only asked for one, and yes all the ice cream servers in vans in Aberystwyth come with body cams obviously and a suspiciously familiar sounding voice serving Millie

Well, I didn't actually watch the videos (with sound on)
Don't think I'd have been able to recognise the voice anyway.

well I might be wrong on the voice, given where British Cycling are based theyre bound to have lots of people with Lancashire accents on the team, but it was obviously a setup by British Cycling for the nationals, it wasnt some random lets have an ice cream thing, which they didnt pay for either

 

[Tim Cahill]

Those mint cornettos look *** good

 

[Wyndbrook]

Just stopped for a coffee on my way to Aberystwyth, will wander down the beach later. Hopefully ice cream van will still be there.

Were the Valle d'Aosta trophies ever posted?

(Not entirely sure what Widar's trophy is...)

Meanwhile, on the other side of Paris, a bemused 110 kg weightlifting champion is looking askance at a platter with silhouette of 8 skinny cyclists in a line.
