Chris Hoy Gets Hero's Welcome

Chris Hoy is being treated like royalty upon his return to Scotland. It's no surprise, either, seeing as how he's the greatest Scottish Olympian ever with three gold medals won at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

"To come back home to the reception I've received - it's almost overwhelming. It has been incredible," he told the assembled press.

"It is fantastic to be back home in Edinburgh and see my friends and family again. It is just the craziest sensation to have all these people pointing cameras at you and wanting to shake your hand and give you congratulations. It is an amazing feeling."

Hoy is the first Briton to win three gold medals at one Olympics in 100 years.

Hoy is nicknamed The Flying Scotsman. He won gold in this year's men's sprint, the team sprint and the Keirin. He also won a gold at the 2004 Games in Athens.
