These athletes put footballers to shame in every way, they are mainly bloody nice people.

Damn straight.
It's a shame all this will be forgotten in a couple of weeks.

Jess! Jess! Jess!

Mo! Mo! Mo!

That is all

Absolutely brilliant, I can't stop smiling. Amazing.

 

[Stat Brother]

3 superb interviews one after the other.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Totally totally brilliant, what a day,what performances. Up yours BNP and Daily Mail. Multicultural Team GB winning golds. Love it.

All they need is love...

I find it difficult to accept that a Ginger Nut won a gold for us in the Long Jump.. that just isn't right.

Why do I keep thinking the Russians have NOBO written across their chests?


Or was it Barclays, I'm all discombobulated?

 

[vegster]

Denise Lewis crying at the medal ceremony too, that sums it all up, one Olympic champion passing the baton on to the next generation as it were and knowing how important it is to win, what an amazing day.

I'm still amazed Ennis has done this with all the pressure and expectation.

 

[El Presidente]

I spent so much time wanking over the heptathlon last night I now have Ennis Elbow.

 

[Stat Brother]

She deserves every drop you pulled, El Pres.

I'm still blown away by her performance, as the post above yours.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm still amazed Ennis has done this with all the pressure and expectation.

Indeed, I thought it was a mistake being such a large part of the build up, but she delivered and then some.

45 mins until Bolt.

Has John Inverdale been replaced with a robot?

Silver for Ohorougo (sp?)

Great last push down the final stretch! The medal haul this weekend has been immense!

 

[Bozza]

Great last push down the final stretch! The medal haul this weekend has been immense!

Another 10m and she'd have won that. Oh for a 410m race, eh?

 

[Frutos]

About 7 minutes until the Main Event.

Quite why part of the buildup to it involved John McEnroe, I've really no idea.

 

[Questions]

Just hope and pray the twice banned drug cheat Gaitlin doesn't win.

 

[viscentaye]

Quite why part of the buildup to it involved John McEnroe, I've really no idea.

Was about to post exactly this!

 

[Frutos]

I know he doesn't seem as invincible as he has done (the defeats by Blake etc....) but I cannot see past Bolt here.

No disrespect at all to the rest of what is a class field (besides the cheat), but surely it's going to be Bolt.
