Nnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#secretly yyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss#

Shuang Guo had nobody to hug or thank as she came away with a bronze in the Sprint. No emotions? What's going on there?

Hoy, Levy, Meares and Pendleton all cried their eyes out to compensate.

But she did look pretty miserable on the sprint podium considering she's the only track cyclist to come away from these games with three medals.

Hah, the Chinese camp ain't exactly a bundle of laughs, they do have a mechanic who's more smiley but Shuang and Daniel Morelon are the most terrifyingly deadpan people I've ever met.

Various world and Olympic medals: no response
Statue of gorrila: big grin

Well there you go.

Hahaha. I feel better having seen ^^ that.

^^gorillias are way cooler medals

she will have been selected to cycle while fairly young rather than getting into it because she liked cycling or anything, maybe that has something to do with it. I quite like her, I wish I could've seen her look at bit happier at her medals.

Morrissey's not happy with the Olympics.

I read this article about her from 2008 earlier:

http://www.womenofchina.cn/html/report/85052-1.htm

Once, when Guo's family took her to visit her grandmother, all the adults were busy and little Guo was bored until she discovered the bike parked outside the house. She excitedly pushed the bike down the street. After one afternoon, Guo was able to ride the bike many meters. "Hehe, maybe it comes from my parents. My father played football and ran short-distance before; my mother is a physical education teacher and her strength is in middle and long distance running."

Bonus: two pics of her looking happy!

Kate Bush to play closing ceremony?

She has to! She was missed during the opening ceremony.

^ As were many others.

She has to! She was missed during the opening ceremony.

That would be good, but for the love of God, please no Paul McCartney this time. Or Morrisey

dark day for the whole olympic movement yesterday as Team GB win no medals
shame on them

Except Wiggo never posted that himself, it was a response from @mrcolmquinn

I think Wiggins has been in the media recently about being annoyed at being misquoted.

He also didn't 'response'.

Medals are flowing in again :)

Bloody brilliant

Team GB get first women's boxing Gold medal ever. First time they have been able to box...

Gold!

Don't forget Horsey dancing to music.

50 medals now. Shame for Payne in the open-water earlier.

Yeah to swim 10K and finish fourth is a bit of a bummer. How the hell can anyone swim 10K? I just don't get it

She was the favourite too, am gutted for her. Really.

Paddy gold in the foxy boxing.
