London 2012 Olympics

'Mo Farah - took on the Africans - showed them what it's all about' - way to go BBC

they were referring collectively to the Kenyans, Ethiopians etc, no?

men's badminton singles final is exhilarating

The middle of that second game was outrageous - Lin Dan's athleticism is just nuts - fingers crossed for Chong Wei in the decider...

They must be absolutely bloody knackered.

It's been going 50 minutes so far (for non-badminton players these things are normally wrapped up in 40 mins and they've only just started the third) - Chong wei saw the second was slipping from his grip and just let it go to conserve energy for this round.

Tense.as.fuck.

Hey Jude.............Sir Paul's much welcomed support in the velodrome.

I don't know if I can watch.

three points clear - fffffuuuu!!!!!!!!!

HA! There was a cut to the crowd after chong wei scored a point - a chinese fan saw he was on camera and cheered extra loud - the malaysian in front of him threw his Jalur Gemilang over the chinese dudes face : )

saw that too. got a good chuckle. apparently baskin Robbins will give free ice cream to everyone in Malaysia if chong wei wins.

Clearly Olympic driven hangovers were keeping traffic super quiet this morning on my ride over to Richmond Park.

Had some pissed bloke hanging out the window of a mini-cab giving it the Mark Madiot vocal encouragement and trying to high 5 me on Wandsworth on-way system too :D

:(

so close

Ainslie looking good for gold in the sailing at the moment.

Except for the douchebag Fin that just took his wind.

4th Olympic gold for Ainslie.

Nice one.

Andy Murray 1 set up VS Federer!

Can anyone explain why the ladies who won gold in the velodrome are being relegated to 'and also....' status in the news and the summaries? They demolished the Americans, and broke the WR twice in one day. None of the other British medalists, no matter how worthy, broke the WR in their disciplines today.

This!!!!!!!

Can we keep Ian Thorpe and send back hippy?

^^

Ennis was always going to get more coverage being the poster girl and whatnot...

If Wiggo wore little pants that showed the bit at the bottom of his buttocks he'd be dead on for Sports Personality of the Year.

Can we keep Ian Thorpe and send back hippy?

I like Ian Thorpe, but his campness always makes me feel a little sad, reminding me of the late Graham Norton.

Murray is on fire!!

the woman's boxing is awesome

I wonder if Federer is just feeling a bit guilty about making him cry last time and letting him win?

I was sort of 'meh' on the Olympics pre games, but TBH it's been great. The atmosphere at Stratford and Westfield's has been good and winning so many medals is a feel good factor for me.
