Greg Minnaar takes gold at 2013 MTB World Champs

Achievements like this should be on most publications and wonder if he will even get an interview on a tv program other than a cycling programme.

He probably wont even get any interviews from Top Billing and the like.

Anyone recall Burry even being interviewed on Top Billing etc?

Yeahhhh i was so excitiing when watching him beat two aus!

We watched the ladies up there and then headed down for the hype....my wife has a video of me going mental..too embarrassing to post!!

You brought it up - now the Hub will NEVER rest until you've posted it! Come on! Or get the wife to do it!

Who wants to be on Top Billing, really?

Mr. Min's achievement made front page on Argus and Die Burger.

I was doing a Tom Cruise / Opra on the couch move yesterday , super exciting .

Well Done GM ! we all super proud of you !

Damn, I totally forgot about this and missed it on DSTV!!! Any way I can watch it, or will they just show highlights at some point?

Congrats GREG! You were a machine! Just a pity I have to take my TV for counselling today cause of all the shouting at it yesterday

I was down at the finish this time, Didn't get there in time for the last World Cup win..... What an experience!!!!

Was fortunate enough to be close to toe "backstage" area before the podium ceremony started. So much emotion. Got to shake the legend's hand. Alec Lenferna and Mike Bradley were there to congratulate him (among others). Alec was VERY close to being in tears!

Well done Mr Minn. You made a lot of people very proud!!

I could only watch the recording of this last night, i completely cut myself off from any digital device in order to not spoil the excitement of watching the event - and boy was it worth the wait.

Epic run - the man was flying. Well done to Greg Minaar for the most awesome win on home soil!!

What an incredible ride, man I'm sure he and the folks in PMB could hear me screaming!!

What an amazing experience, i was sitting ringside in Pmb and there were some foreigners around me, i think they were blown away by how loud it got. Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!!!!!

off topic: at the next world cup there should be a separate com for the athertons vs the hannahs, take their combined times and see who's the fastest family.

Yeah it was a great atmosphere to be in... the best and probably the most emotional part was singing our national anthem - the worst part was that the bar had run out of beers afterwards.

Ha ha ha, yeah.
