The medal presenters

When the CWG events are over and the athletes are presented with their medals, some VIP comes out and presents it to them. At both of the ceremonies I saw, there was something amusing about this.

First of all, did Milton Bradley's parents do that to him on purpose?

And in the second photo: no, that does not say "horrible" (what I first thought) ministers of Sports and of Housing, Urban Poverty and Tourism--though the irony is, no one would question it if it did.
