When Bradley Wiggins goes for gold tomorrow afternoon

in the men's cycling time trial the Tour de France

champion could be forgiven for checking the crowd

nervously for the face of the prime minister, who is

starting to get a reputation as a bit of a jinx.

如果環(huán)法自行車賽冠軍布拉德利威金斯在爭奪男子公路自行車

個人計時賽的賽場上，緊張地環(huán)顧人群，看首相卡梅倫有沒有

來觀戰(zhàn)，那我們一定要原諒他，因為卡梅倫首相已開始被譽為

奧運會掃帚星。
