SIR CHRIS HOY has more than enough to contend with right now without having to worry about water leaking through his hotel roof at 4am.
But that's the fate which the inspirational Scottish cycling star had to contend with in the early hours of the morning when a guest situated above him left the bath on.

The Olympic cycling legend revealed in October that his prostate cancer is terminal.
Hoy, 49, has been given just two years to live by doctors, but has approached his condition with inspiring positivity.
He still has a busy calendar of events - as he gives inspirational speeches and raises funds for charity in addition to promoting his autobiography.
So he could have done without the hotel drama which he experienced at 4am.
He took to his Instagram account to share video of water gathering in massive puddles in his bathroom as it trickled down from the level above.
And he wrote: "Big shoutout to the person who left their bath running upstairs and caused me to have to move room as at 4am."
Hoy - whose wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis shortly after Hoy's announcement - has made multiple appearances to raise awareness.
Who could forget the ovation he got from Scotland rugby fans as he delivered the match ball for the game against Ireland?
He gave a rousing speech at the BBC Sport Personality of the Year Awards in December.
He also presented darts sensation Luke Littler with the Ballon d'Art trophy in January - an emotional appearance which left viewers in tears.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Nella Rose was left fuming when she realised her cousin did not know the answer to an easy question Credit: Channel 4.0 5 Nella could not believe that she knew the answer but her cousin did not Credit: Channel 4.0 5 Afo was asked which popstar had been sent to Space Credit: Channel 4.0 Family Face Off is a modern take on All Star Family Fortunes and is hosted by comedian and online personality, Darkest Man. During the first episode, Love Island star and The Morning After host Indiyah Polack took on I'm A Celeb star and YouTuber Nella Rose and her family in order to be crowned the top celebrity family. But things quickly go awry as Nella is left dumbfounded by her cousin being unable to answer a very easy question. In The Sun's exclusive first-look clip at the digital series, Darkest Man tells Nella that the next question will be based on the topic of Science. Looking at her family playing alongside her, she chooses her cousin Afo to take on the all-important question to bag a point for their team. However, it quickly falls apart when it emerges that he is the only one of their team to not know the answer to the question. Afo is asked: "Jeff Bezos sent an all-female crew into space, including which popstar?" As soon as she heard the question, Nella can be heard making noises as she walked around the set with her hands in the air as it became apparent that she knew the answer - but Afo did not. She can soon be heard jokingly exclaiming at the camera: "Turn that s*** off!" Clearly unaware of the answer, Afo tells the host: "Lady Gaga." I'm A Celeb's Nella Rose returns to YouTube for first time in three years and slams show for 'editing her like a troublemaker' Darkest Man soon clarifies that the answer is in fact Katy Perry as Nella and her fellow teammates all confirm that they would have been able to correctly guess the answer. Would you have been able to correctly identify the answer? Despite this, Nella and her family still lead the competition as they held a total of 5 points to Indiyah's total of three points. Throughout the series, other stars including Chloe Burrows, Angry Ginge and Krept & Konan are all expected to appear. Family Face Off is available to watch on the Channel 4.0 YouTube channel. 5 Nella held her head in her hands Credit: Channel 4.0

‘I'd like to report a crime' – Popular Scots chippy divides customers with ‘Glaswegian' special
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR Scottish chippy has divided opinion between customers with its latest creation. Hook and Catch, located in Bearsden, has dubbed their unique new doughnut "pure Glasgow genius". 4 The 'Glasgwegian doughnut' is created with a morning roll, Nutella and strawberry jam Credit: Instagram / @hookcatchtuckshakk 4 The chippy took to social media last week and posted a video to show how it was made Credit: Instagram / @hookcatchtuckshakk 4 The creation has divided opinion between customers on social media Credit: Instagram / @hookcatchtuckshakk The 'Glasgwegian doughnut' is created with a simple morning roll, Nutella and strawberry jam. The chippy took to social media last week and posted a video to show how it was made. To create the deep-fried delicacy, staff cut a morning roll in half and start spreading a thick layer of Nutella on the bottom. They then add a heap of strawberry jam on top of the hazelnut spread. The roll is then dipped in batter and deep fried. Once it's golden brown, it's taken out of the fryer and then coated in sugar. Chippy bosses have described the treat as "outrageously indulgent". It's only available for a limited time, so you'll need to be quick if you want to give it a go. The caption read: "Introducing… THE GLASWEGIAN DOUGHNUT. Only at Hook and Catch. "We've taken the deep-fried tradition up a notch and created the ultimate Scottish sweet treat – crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and outrageously indulgent. I tried the London tour that lets you make the viral TikTok doughnuts - and you can book for Easter "It's a roll. It's a doughnut. It's pure Glasgow genius. "Available now for a limited time – come and taste history in the frying." Customers have been left divided by the creation and flocked to the comments to give their opinion. One person said: "I'm Scottish and I'd like to report a crime." Another wrote: "There's a reason it's never been done!" A third added: "Why are we as Glaswegians like this?" While a fourth commented: "A Glaswegian heart attack." Despite some punters being left horrified by the idea, others were keen to try it out. One added: "I bet this tastes beautiful." A second wrote: "I'd eat that, wouldn't think twice about it. Looks fab." A third suggested: "Change the crusty roll for a sweet brioche and you could be onto something."
