Good Silver for Cavendish, but I can't help that think after his  bitching and whining he really needed to win Gold to make any sort of point

Bit like Louis Smith?

Elimination Race! My favourite.

Never seen it before but I loved it. Feels like it was designed by Stephen King

Rajiv Ouseph just reached the quarter final in the men's singles Badminton. Fantastic performance against Tommy Sugiarto, a very talented Indonesian player.

What an Olympics this is for the Brits.

Controversial decision in the heavyweight final.

It wasn't quite Jones Jr vs the Korean bloke, but I'm not sure about it.

They stopped the final round in the men's heavyweight boxing final to tend to the Russian bloke, who's head was bleeding, for an absolute age. Must have been frustrating for the Kazakh, who seemed on the verge of knocking him out at the time.

Also watched a splendidly dirty matchup between an Egyptian and a Mexican earlier. The Egyptian was punching to the back of the head, pushing his opponent's chin up with the back of his hand and finally did a low blow smack where it hurts. The Mexican on the other hand spat his gumshield out about 6 times to delay the fight and take a breather, suspect he knew that he was ahead.

Not really sure why Cavendish hasn't been disqualified? Will they wait until the end or has he got away with it?


Because it was a racing incident and not deliberate, he was covering what he thought was a move by Viviani to come down from high and misjudged it. Go to your local velodrome and watch any track race and there will be a crash, shit happens its part of track racing.

So what happens now in the cycling.  Stopped once and Kenny looking like he got a big let off.  Second infringement from the German seemingly, are they going to disqualify him?

I don't quite get it but you can't be ahead of the shit green bike before it peels off. There was a chance that Kenny faced DQ on the first false start but was ruled that it was too difficult to judge. Then wouldn't you believe it, one of them does it again. Sure to be a DW this time.

Brilliant. Decided the technology is shit so they don't have the grounds to disqualify anybody. This could go on all night.
