Double Paraympic gold medallist Mark Rohan had a close encounter of a very unusual kind with coach after his win today.

Thanks to RTE journo Ed Leahy's Twitter feed (@Ed_Leahy), we now know that winning Paralympic gold can land you in some strange situations.

This shot, of handcycling double-gold winner Mark Rohan, was taken after the Westmeath man took his second gold of the Games today in London.

The look on his face sums up how any of us would feel when faced with a man, believed to be cycling coach Gerry Briggs, in a mankini trying to give us a hug.
