Kids on the Podium

This picture of Sylvian Chavanel, who yesterday won the French Road Racing Championship, was defined by cyclingnews.com as the "awww moment on French RR Podium"



This picture then got me thinking just how many time I have seen kids on the podium with their fathers:

2005, Tour de France, Ivan Basso with his daughter after his 2nd place victory.

2005, Tour de France, Lance Armstrong, after his 1st place victory, 7th in a row.

2008, Tour de France, Carlos Sastre (in Yellow) and Oscar Freire (in Green) after their Jersey wins.

2010, Giro d'Italia, Ivan Basso (Pink Jersey) and David Arroyo (Team Caisse d'Epargne's Black & Red Jersey).

Okay, so this isn't on the podium, but it is still cute nonetheless:

2003, Tour de France, Armstrong with his ex-wife Kristin after winning his 5th Tour de France.

There are so many more pictures out there to choose from with kids on the podium. Dare I say that sometimes kids get more attention than the riders?
