Interesting how all the British news reports claim him as their own, when the guy moved to Spain at the age of 5! Certainly, when he talks to the Spanish press he presents a more Spanish-oriented persona. Not that I'm making any point at all with that; it's simply an interesting snapshot of the concept of identity-by-proxy that the press seem to adhere to.

Pyremaniac, He is registered as GBR, you need a passport from a country to be able to ski for it.
I have skied with people registered with Belgium, Ireland and East Timor who are really French.

Sure. My observation was rather that the press don't miss an oportunity to state "British skier" or even "The Lancaster-born 2014 World Cup winner, who now lives in Spain" (BBC; makes it sound like the guy moved there last month or something)... yet why is his nationality particularly relevant to the fact that he's beaten the world record for indoor speed?
Again, I'm not really making any point here; I simply note that in our ever more globalized world, this latching onto national identity seems increasingly anachronistic. And the contrast between the Spanish articles and the Bristish ones is interesting.

It's always been like that, and I agree it's weird, which is why it makes no difference to me. But most people lap that stuff up, I'd let them get on with it.
