A gold medal for blagging... who are the imposters who got a free ride on an Olympic float? This is the hilarious moment two imposters who blagged it onto a float during Manchester’s Olympic Heroes homecoming parade were rumbled. The two young men managed to defy security and clambered aboard a float among the women’s hockey team and modern pentathlon athletes at the start of the parade in Castlefield. Both men donned white Adidas Team GB tracksuits and plastic medals to trick security into letting them onto the float. A Sky News journalist discovered the men were sham athletes when he asked them about their Olympic achievements. When first asked what they had won, one of the cheeky pair said: “We won the Olympics...err..the fencing in the Olympics.” When they realised the game was up the grinning pals admittted they had blagged their way onto the float.

"We saw a load of Olympic athletes just before it started," he says. "We saw a few athletes running in and out of a hotel to go to the toilet before the parade started. "So we gathered ourselves in the toilet of this hotel and followed some Olympic athletes through the hotel door and a police officer and a security guard waved us on through the fence. They said, 'You guys need to hurry up because it's leaving.' "We were ushered on through and got chatting to some lady, who directed us towards the Modern Pentathlon coach. "They rumbled us but they were absolutely fine with it and we met the whole team. Samantha Murray came up to us, started talking to us about fencing and then said we might be on the wrong float."

@ them for pulling such an elaborate 'prank' but I'm shocked at how easy it was for them to get on. Imagine if it was someone that could have posed as a threat .
