Brownlee brothers first and second in the Triathlon.  Great achievements both.

Absolute dedication to their chosen sport. A credit to this country.

Sports.

They're amazing athletes, it was a great shame Javier Gomez is injured, I think he'd have been there or there abouts with Alistair on previous form.

And the Brownlees said before the event that they were disappointed that Gomez was injured as they wanted to test themselves against the best in the world and his injury would mean that one of the best would not be there.

Another gold for Jade Jones. That's us on 22 now.

Fair play to Australia. They've nearly won a third of our golds.

British women won a sailing gold.

Was that the one where they just needed to complete the race to win the gold? If so I was hoping that they'd turn up in pirate outfits.

Bizarre reports emerging regarding Ryan Lochte and his teammates.

Despite some fantastic individual performances and great successes for us I'm afraid this Olympics will go down as one of the words to in living memory.

Roll on Tokyo 2020.

Relating to the gunpoint robbery?  Sounds well dodgy, CCTV at the Olympic Village blows a hole in their story allegedly.

Oh dear it looks like they have been found out. Not good for the USA.

It's a disgrace....they should strip the USA of all their medals...

Liars and cheating has no place in Olympian sport.

Doh!

12 gold medals and this will be his ultimate Olympic legacy. What a fool, what on earth was he thinking?

I think this explains that he's just an entitled man-child.

I've missed the rivalry with the shackle draggers, they've been shit at sport for a while now, cricket, rugby, the Olympics.  It's fucking great.

Aaron Cook eliminated early doors. That is pretty humiliating since he kicked up such a fuss over being dropped by GB last time around. I wonder how much the Moldovans paid him to take their passport.

I haven't watched any of it but I have just seen some pictures in the paper of Sam Quek. She might have been hit by some hockey sticks in her time but she certainly hasn't been hit by any ugly sticks.
