Olympic Athlete Castings continue with Chris Boardman MBE


Now some of our Olympic athletes are back in the UK, The National Lottery castings to promote the Go for Gold scratchcard were back on the Creative Casting agenda.

This week we visited the Manchester Velodrome to take casts of Chris Boardman, gold medal winner in the 1992 Olympics in the individual pursuit.

Chris was very laid back about having the casts done & commented on the amazing detail produced in the alginate mould. He did say it was a very weird feeling having your feet dunked in cold gloop though!

Chris has his own performance bike company: Boardman Bikes & one of his cycles was ridden to victory in the road race by Nicole Cooke in Beijing.
