Alexander KNIBBS Sporting hero
His father, Harold KNIBBS (no mean singer himself), taught Alex to swim at the age of four.  Ever since then he has keenly followed his son's sporting achievements with pride.  Along the way, Alex has taken part in various Biathlons, Triathlons and Quadraphons, always recording respectable times.  Below is a list of his many achievements - supplied as you might have guessed by Harold, who says that Alex will never forgive him for doing so!
