That Russian who just beat Kenny is obviously stuffed up to his eyeballs with drugs.

That's what the Olympics is all about. Superhuman effort from Becky, brilliant.

Saturday night track and field and still huge sections of stadium empty. Someone has really cocked up ticket sales & pricing. What a shame. London 2012 tickets were like gold dust even for the lesser known sports.
Guess Paralympic crowd numbers will be even worse.

Apparently tickets for tonight were available for £63, a bargain compared to London..

Yeah. I set my alarm for the early hours so I could watch Mo Farah.
It was worth it!!!!
Just wanted to add his comment for all the usual suspects. "It's important to make my country proud" ;-)
He's talking about Great Britain BTW.

I managed to watch Ennis and Rutherford and their interviews as well. It's incredible how they both were clearly disappointed with the results, shows the mindset of elite athletes.
The Belgian who won the gold in the heptathlon set 5 PBs and still only beat Jess by 35 points. I suspect that Jess will now call it a day - it's hard to see how she's going to improve her points total given her age, and the Belgian is clearly on a big upward trajectory. If Jess does go, she can retire with pride - what a career!
It gives me no pleasure to say it, but Kat is getting a bit of a reputation of bottling the big meets. Her whole demeanour in the javelin screamed "I've lost this", even after just her first throw. Come on Kat - you're a superb athlete. Sort out your throwing a bit, and learn to deal with disappointing rounds without throwing the whole event, and you can still get golds.
Greg did well, especially in getting the bronze with his last jump (that's what you do, Kat); and I loved his interview "... I'm disappointed - I didn't come here for third..." (Paraphrased). Not petulant, not a bad loser - just saying it as he saw it.
Rowing and cycling medals were brilliant - but track and field is my first love in Olympuc sports, so don't feel I have anything particularly useful to say on them...
