FIPS events are accessed by England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland (Ireland featuring anglers from Eire and the Six Counties - just like the Rugby Union team)
However the Olympics we enter as Great Britain - I am sure that Scotland will treat Mr. Hoy well - I heard Alec Salmond suggesting that he would offer him the monarchy of Scotland.No doubt Stockport will treat their heroes just as well - with single tickets to the destination of their choice /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
But I bet it wont get mentioned on the news on the TV.
Its a shame because its such a great result, hopefully it will encourage more ladies to go fishing without fear of sexist comments from a male dominated sport.
I heard about it on the BBC in the Olympics report where everyone was rejoicing about Emma's win and they included a five minute report on the match.

Sorry, Must have been asleep and dreaming there. Of course it wasn't covered on the BBC, why would it? According to the Beeb, no-one goes angling these days.

Well done all the same Emma and who knows, keep winning and one day the Beeb might.
