Sorry about that - clicked the link and four pics came up ok as required.

:) Thanks NJH - I don't know how you did it but hope you have your magic wand patented.
Would you perform another miracle? (there is a link for it a mile long)
He has donated his Adidas suit to the London Museum to be displayed with other Olympic memorabilia and the pic of it being held up is on Google -

:D LOL - thanks for selection NJH
(not sure that TD is as slim as a size 28 and yellow jersey
is a bit of an anomoly as that was for Sir Bradley Wiggins's
win in the Tour De France, not his medal which followed in
the Olympic Games).
(must have words with London Museum)

Thank You Bryon, the second link worked for me this time. Thank You NJH for your links as well.

You read some of the reader comments after the digital spy story and they are harsh and very anti the suits TD wears, in fact a few are simply mean (reference to size and what he's got). As for egtting smaller, not sure the suit he ahs on is any less than the suit at the museum. I though England was far more accepting. The guy is an awesome diver and he has a great body and he looks incredible in whatever suits he wears. Good for him. To be so young, so hot, and so darn good!

[Byron]

"England more accepting" ?

On the whole yes but as The Bible says (or almost) the poor are always with us*. So it is with the bitchy gay fraternity who enjoy an OTT headline suggesting "getting even smaller". Never let the facts obscure a good story of course and websites such as that thrive on pieces approximating to Hollywood gossip columns (I shouldn't have have given them free publicity but they seem to have the monopoly on the Edinburgh pics).

Such are the vagaries of a showbiz career but I think TD has the mental stability to withstand it - after all he's not done bad at being his nation's speedoboy when not actually the best diver in the world.

(*off topic but a good book is The Other America by Michael Harrington)

Good catch, I probably more correctly meant Great Britain...it was late. But, I found the general tone of the post story commentary surprising, given the celebrity status of TD. All in, he is a damn good diver, one does ot get to that stage by being a slouch. I think most folks who post nasty stuff are really just jealous that they have no hope of looking as good as he does. The total package is pretty awesome, and while I will not judge the size of what he is packing under those suits... I sure think he looks great. At least he does not have the misaligned ego of Ryan Lochte, a guy who looks great and swims great (not as great as Phelps...zing) but has the personal grace of a brick.

[Byron]

....... a brick in a pink speedo conjures quite an image !

(Museum of London says 28 is marked in the exhibit's waistband)
(anomoly should be anomaly)

[Torchwatch]

Are the bricks still in the Tate Museum in London? Maybe pink Speedos would improve them.

[Byron]

I wish you hadn't said that - someone might be reading it as a good idea.
The bricks have long gone I think and we have passed through cows in formaldyhide and unmade beds now. Ceramic sunflower seeds had to go for elf'n safety (dust) - so what current piece of madness is a la mode I'm not sure (to reach it via a new millenium bridge that wobbled seemed very appropriate somehow).
Personally I would prefer a very high plain steel pole with five rings welded at intervals and with a speedo hanging on each - so symbolic of diving 2012.
