Gold for Murray. Lovely from both players at the end. Enjoyed that.

Yeah, the embrace between the two at the end was one of the defining moments of these games

What a tense match. 5 Golds in one day, amazing. Glad he won just because of that cheating Argie.

Fair play to Del Potro. Great effort saying how tired he must have been. It'll be interesting to see if Murray can win the US Open.

Very impressive from Bolt. Going to be worth staying up for another hour or so and seeing if he can do it.

I'm not sure if there has been some directive from the BBC, but I keep hearing the commentator saying "X resides in 4/5/6th place" and I find it incredibly grating. Resides !? It's their place of abode ? It seems to be a pretty clear example of someone trying to use a longer word that doesn't really fit, to try and appear a bit cleverer than they probably are. Whatever happened to "sits in" or, even more simply, "is in"... ?

I hope Bolt destroys drug cheat Gatlin who shouldn't even be in the Olympics imo.

Well done Andy Murray!  A true champion. Del Potro pushed Andy really hard. Great match.

Amazing from lane 8. Can't remember whether Michael Johnson's record was run in that lane.
