Just watching the...erm....synchronised diving. It's easy to get caught up in joy or disappointment at your own team, but aside from all that this is a magnificent spectacle. Very few of the sports people are famous millionaires like the footballers or even rugby players we see on telly most weeks ...

She was never going to beat Vos or Armitstead in the sprint.

SILVER!

Looks like a dead cert medal there for TEAM GB!

Just seen the Brit number 1 win table Tennis creating a big upset by the sounds of it. he's ranked 104 in the world. Good stuff.

Becky Adlington eat up the competition there in her heat. She looks like she has her shit back together after admitting losing her head after last Olympics. Second heat was faster though.

She may be playin second fiddle to Lizzie Armitstead in Team GB. Will be interesting.

Why so many empty seats? I remember people on here trying to get tickets but they couldn't. Did the touts grab them all? Basically accredited areas for sponsors, media, international federations and even the support staff. The wankers who get a quota for free aren't even f**king turning up or letti...

I knew, Miley, a bit of a weak big time performer was doomed when the BBC commentator said she might get gold. She wasn't ever close :( wot?

He did last Olympics.

It's over for Team GB now. The olympic champion should be in the break away group. They stuck to the tactics they broadcasted weeks ahead to everybody, tactics known that a breakaway could scupper and that is exactly what happened. Arrogance and complacency. Success can breed a lack of self-evaluat...

eldanielfire

GB are losing more time now and one guy has dropped off. I think they may have made a tactical error and misread the danger of that initial breakaway.

eldanielfire

This race is nerve racking tactically. I have no idea if the Brits have the gas to close this now.

eldanielfire

An interesting position this. If this group GB tactiuc doesn't work I wonder if the women's cycle team, who have the same tactic tomorrow, will stick to it. i read both teams accepted a successful breakaway is the big weakness in their tactics and the women's team is essentially planning to sacrafic...

He's another one who is really given the MEGA HYPE, above sports perople who have acomplished more. He's not even a gold medal favorite.

eldanielfire

I wondering if the GB team is victim of BBC over hype ruining things with "greatest team of all time" stuff in the build-up. Still a long way to go. You mean the whole team or the Cycling lads? Cycling definitely -the TDF has ramped up the interest and hype massively. I dont think the rest of the G...

In this road race, the biggest negative for the breakaway and the good news for Team GB is that they don't have sprinters with them right?

4'ish apparently I think.

Why did Arctic Monkeys get such a prominent role?

In 2005 or just after, I think they were all the rage.

I ahve to say it was an album i thopught was among the most overrated I ever heard. Not shit exactly, but very average, shocking how low British music has come!

eldanielfire

Even Michael Johnson thought the lighting of the torch was amazing!

eldanielfire

I think that lighting of the Olympic torch has possibly topped Barcelona. Possibly. It is superb!
