Derek the Duck goes for Gold

Representing the island of Doodly
 Derek the determined duck donned his goggles and attempted his best duckstroke for the 100m.

In his normal life he is an underwater astronaut but has been training hard for the 2012 Olympics and said that this is his final swansong before retiring with his wife Gladys to the Home for Ageing Doodlies on Puffin Island. 

 (how many of you noticed my spelling mistake in the pic)
