Sir Chris Hoy launches Glasgow’s one-year countdown to Commonwealth feast of sport

SIX-TIME Olympian and double Commonwealth gold medal winner, Sir Chris Hoy fired off a festival day of sporting and interactive fun on Glasgow’s main shopping street as the city and Scotland celebrated the magical one-year milestone to the Commonwealth Games.

Sir Chris kick-started a day of celebration by supporting a people’s Glasgow 2014 Cycle Challenge and a Breakfast of Champions with lucky sports fans in the middle of the city’s main shopping zone, Buchanan Street. Glasgow 2014’s cheeky mascot Clyde also took to the streets to join dancers, musicians and street performers in showcasing how vibrant the city will feel at Games-time.
At the heart of the day’s action was the unveiling of the Glasgow 2014 Official Ticketing Guide – the route to up to one million seats at the heart of the Games live action, across 17 sports.
The Ticketing Guide, featuring stunning athletic imagery from across the sports programme, sets out full details how everyone can be part of an accessible and affordable Commonwealth Games.
