Somehow, we can't imagine Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt cramming their kit into a bag for life, seconds after securing another Olympic gold.

Jason Kenny on the other hand, is different. With five Olympic golds already to his name, the Bolton cyclist added a sixth on Tuesday when he sealed victory in the men's keirin. This was his third gold medal of the Rio Games and also saw him equal Sir Chris Hoy's tally of Olympic golds. And as if that wasn't already enough, it came on the same day that fiancee Laura Trott became Britain's most successful female Olympian after she picked up her fourth Olympic gold with victory in the omnium. Cycling - Track - Olympics: Day 11 Quite a day, eh? As if he hadn't already done us proud, minutes after dismounting his bike, Kenny showed how throroughly British he was as he stuffed his kit into a supermarket bag for life. As you might expect, many viewers were quick to notice... https://twitter.com/chrisapplegate/status/765672756939780096 https://twitter.com/EddyRhead/status/765672726107389952 https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/765817478920409088 https://twitter.com/mrbenjiweb/status/765686867845152768 https://twitter.com/chriswill78/status/765673887044603904 https://twitter.com/Pardus_UK/status/765810150120812544 Good on you Jason Kenny. It's nice to see that one of the most successful Olympians in this country's history carries his kit around in the same bag most of our nans take on their weekly food shop. Read more:
