Just seen the Ogogo fight, he showed true grit and determination and a bit of class thrown in as well. No doubt that the crowd got him through that and his reaction was priceless.

I just spotted this on t'official site

Mary King, riding our owner Eddie Davies' horse Imperial Cavalier, was part of the GB Olympic Team Eventing side that won silver on Tuesday morning.

Who'd a thunked it?

You really are getting crazier by the day!

The Chinese girl swimming in the finals today is expected to smash the world record by 10 seconds. Chee Ting nice person said that she's very optimistic.

[thebish]

where's all the frothing moral outrage over Hindes deliberately coming off his bike because he had a bad start and wanted to manufacture a restart...

one law for foreign badminton shuttlecockers - another for british cyclists??

It was lost in translation....

Clearly "I crashed in order to get a restart so we could go faster" in germanic English really means "I did everything I could to stay on the bike, but I just couldn't control it. Everything was completely above board old chap".

indeed - they should be stripped of the gold and thrown out of the olympics, surely?

I'm not sure we've heard the last of this one, Bish. I'm no expert or owt, but I believe that that whole one x restart thing is specifically there to cover mechanical failure. A precedent has been set, I feel, with the disqualification of the shuttlecockers who themselves hadn't actually broke any rules. Could be interesting. When Hindes gave his interview my first reaction was one of gobsmacktedness (It looked to me as though his handlebars had actually collapsed), then of cringeworthiness, then to one of - then you've cheated, oo err.

[Armchair Wanderer]

Anyone else see Jessica Ennis in the 110m hurdles just now? Was expected to finish second, they said it's better to finish second with a fast time than win in a slow time. Stormed it and broke all kinds of records. One event out of seven, first place overall.

DRUGS CHEAT!

Well, if the Chinese athletes are faster than expected, they're automatically branded cheats.. So...

Knock yerself out. Take a page or two if you want.

Can't be doin with all these cheating bloody Krauts.

I've given you a start!

GOLD

Brilliant rowing int' double sculls by Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins. One length ahead of the Aussies who were an eon ahead of the Poles in third.

They looked as though they were simply breathing a little deeper than they might in conversation.

[Bijou Bob]

Which Olympic athlete are you??

Apparently, my height and body weight are the same as some mexican swimmer called Voight.

[Gooner Girl]

Good grief, theres a japenese gymnast that weighs 4 stone 10!!!! Thats unhealthy surely? I'd be asking some serious questions if i was officiating that - i know gymnasts are supposed to be small and light but that doesn't seem right to me.

[boltonboris]

She's probably 9

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Strange stories surrounding Phillips Idowu - where the feck is he?!

[Gooner Girl]

He's probably the worlds best triple jumper Mummy, and a Brit.
