Libby Tricket's Olympic Menu - a Gold Medal Diet

Lisbeth Trickett's 4 medal haul at the Olympics, which includes 2 golds, a silver and a bronze is powered by a secret menu - Pecking Duck. A delicious crispy glazed roasted duck, that has been prepared since the Yuan Dynasty, and is now considered one of China's national foods, and also Beijing's most famous dish.

AdelaideNow reports that Libby has been having the Chinese specialty for breakfast, lunch and dinner since checking into the Athlete's Village, as told by Libby's husband, Luke Trickett. Luke was poolside when Libby won her first individual Olympic gold. Luke, who was with Trickett's mother, Marilyn Lenton, to cheer for his wife of 16 months, said that words couldn't begin to describe how proud he was of her success.

"I find it a bit difficult to believe personally - but Libby's like that when she gets obsessive about something", said Luke.
