When Bradley Wiggins goes for gold tomorrow afternoon in the men's cycling time trial the Tour de France champion could be forgiven for checking the crowd nervously¹ for the face of the prime minister, who is starting to get a reputation as a bit of a jinx.

如果环法自行车赛冠军布拉德利•威金斯在争夺男子公路自行车个人计时赛的赛场上，紧张地环顾人群，看首相卡梅伦有没有来观战，那我们一定要原谅他，因为卡梅伦首相已开始被誉为奥运会扫帚星。

So far both Wiggins' cycling colleague Mark Cavendish and Olympic poster boy Tom Daley have been denied medals by what has been dubbed² the "Curse of Cameron".

The prime minister was present at the trackside when Cavendish failed to win Team GB's first Gold of the Games as expected.

And he was in the stands when Daley and his partner Peter Waterfield came an agonising fourth in the synchronized³ diving.

The curse is not restricted to the Olympics. A few weeks ago Cameron was at Wimbledon to see Andy Murray let slip a lead against Roger Federer in the tennis.

Fortunately for Britain's male gymnasts however the prime minister stayed away from the North Greenwich Arena⁴ last night where they won the country's first medal in the event for 100 years.

Although suspicions were raised that Cameron had peeked⁶ his head round the door after the team's medal was downgraded from silver to bronze.

Nerves may also be frayed⁷ in the Team GB beach volleyball camp, as the event is taking place in Horse Guards Parade next door to Cameron's Downing Street home.

Yesterday, when asked, No.10 admitted that Cameron probably "had a peek⁵" at the event.

The British hopefuls must be crossing their fingers that the curtains are drawn⁸ during their matches.
