Give Usain Bolt a run for somebody else's money

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Gold Challenge

28 July 2011 1:00 GMT / By Ian Hughes

Here’s one for anybody who’s ever sat on their sofa watching sport and declared that they could do better with one hand tied behind their back / one leg in plaster / both eyes closed etc, etc. You know the type.

All you armchair athletes and living room superstars can now prove your mettle and raise a shed load of cash for good causes while you’re about it.

With a year to go to the London Olympics, this is a fund-raising campaign that will run right up to the games themselves and involves anybody who’s ever fancied having a go at an Olympic sport.

Choose your event from over 30 different sports, then choose your good cause from over 125 registered charities. Then it’s down to you to get going.

Not only will you get to try something new, you’ll raise a bit of cash for some great causes too.
