Japan’s Kosuke Kitajima who won the Gold medal in the men’s 100m breaststroke last week, credits the Wii as his training aid.

He mentioned that he used the game to prepare his mind. “See, Mario does the breaststroke,” he recently told Yomiuri Sports. “and thus, it’s perfect mental training for envisioning the actual Olympic hall.”

I think he’s having us on, or he’s sponsored by Nintendo.
