I think that Becks is about to sneeze in the upper right pic

LA Galaxy have games at the  moment, so why isn't Becks playing. Is he injured, banned or just in more of a semi-retirement that usual ?

Due to the various global photo opportunities, I would imagine he's been given time off to keep his face in the news for not doing much.

Channel 4 says this about open water swimming
Course: 10km around the Serpentine. 25 athletes will swim six laps of the course marked by buoys, with a timing gate after each lap recording lap times. At the finish swimmers slap an overhead board to record their overall time after passing through a timing gap. There are no heats, just one straight final.
The course could be a factor as swimmers will have to navigate six buoys rather than the usual four, due to the fact that the Serpentine's is smaller than usual courses. A great deal of energy is taken up in this manoeuvre, although at least the swimmers won't have to deal with jellyfish or dead animals and the like that often darken the open waters of other lakes and rivers.


No just shopping trolleys and rats

Brit girl takes 4th in the long swim. Must be gutting to swim for 2 hours and miss a medal by a couple of seconds.

Because no one wanted to ride him.

And another Gold. Well done love.

Not my cup of tea at all that but anyone who can make a horse dance to the theme from The Great Escape is fine by me.  The control those riders exert over the horses using almost imperceptible movements is mind blowing.

another medal in the equestrian begs the question, just how big a difference does not having to put the horses on a boat make?

I think we have proved at Eton Dorney this week that we have plenty of humans to do the rowing.

Looks like a Gold in the women's boxing.
