"Wiggo", whose victory in the time trial took his Olympic medal haul to seven, including four golds, was the latest in a stream of Team GB medal winners and athletes who have been appearing daily on stage at the London Mayor's free live site.

Judo medallists Gemma Gibbons, who claimed silver, and Karina Bryant, who picked up a bronze, were due to appear later on today.

Over the coming days a host of other British medal winners are expected to grace the Hyde Park stage.

Shooting gold medallist Richard Wilson, along with canoe slalom champions Etienne Stott and Tim Baillie and runners-up David Florence and Richard Hounslow, popped along to meet the fans yesterday.

The popular BT London Live sites have been set up to allow Londoners and visitors to the capital to catch all the Olympic sporting action on giant screens while enjoying live music and entertainment from some of the country's top performers – including Rebecca Ferguson, Amy MacDonald and McFly; they can also indulge themselves in a range of exciting have-a-go sporting activities and try out the Great Games Zone.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "It is great to see the fantastic reaction our medal-winning sporting heroes and heroines are receiving at the BT London Live site.

Aside from Hyde Park, Victoria Park is allowing visitors to enjoy family-friendly sports and entertainment with the 55-metre high BT observation wheel offering spectacular views of the Olympic Park; the venue is also showcasing live music from the likes of Alexandra Burke, Alyssa Reid and Soul II Soul.

Johnson added: "The BT London Live sites are fantastic places for people to enjoy this incredible summer for free."
