"Number two Jeter......Jeter, number two"


The women's 100m world record has stood for 24 years. Not that there was anything suspicious about women's sprinting in the eighties.

This is an incredible night, and it genuinely makes me feel good to be British(I didn't anticipate that happening before the games)

I have to agree, started with the Opening ceremony, and just got better and better.

Look at all you glory hunters jumping on the bandwagon! Those of us who said it was going to be great are in smug mode.

what a fucking day!!!

best day in british sporting history, anyone who's bitched about us hosting the olympics needs to just be quiet now, the number of fantastic role models who've come to fore of british sport here is amazing.

6 golds, a silver, 2 guaranteed medals in the tennis (wonder what odds you'd have got at the bookies on that particular bet), ed clancy looking good in the omnium... and still a fair few good chances at more medals to come (not least Jess following up gold with something in the individual hurdles and mo doubling up in the 5k).

Who's the knob presenting the football?  (not Savage, the other knob)

I'm enjoying the proper sports. I just wish that there weren't all the non-sports such as the horsey stuff, diving etc getting in the way

want to get the football team in the right mindset before the pens, smartphone and videos of jess, greg and mo will do nicely!
