Yamauchi seems to have caught back up a little to the chasing pack...
Dita a worthy winner

She ran it perfectly. |

More golds for Britain. Ben Ainslie in the organised chaos wins his 3rd gold in row at the Olympics, the Ylang Ylang (or something like that) women won as well, and our lightweight sculls won in the rowing.
We now have 10 golds, and are third behind China and the USA!
We're one of the fancied teams in the women's fours in the rowing which is just starting now...

Just switched on the TV when the lightweight sculls guys were getting their medals, that is what an Olympic gold medal should mean to an athlete, one of my favourite sights in sport when you see from a sportsman/woman's expression that it means so much to them. |

Couldn't agree more. Also good to see the family enjoying it so much as well. This looks good:  |

I still reckon that we'll get a gold in the women's pursuit cycling as well...  |

How positive does this sound (from Auntie Beeb): British cyclists Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton remain on course for Olympic success after easily coming through sprint qualifying on Sunday.
Hoy, gunning for his third gold, beat fellow Brit Jason Kenny to first place as both riders set new Olympic records.
Pendleton also set a new Olympic record as she topped the women's standings.
Bradley Wiggins also has a chance of three gold medals and he helped the men's team pursuit qualify fastest for the first round later on Sunday.
He combined with Paul Manning, Ed Clancy and Geraint Thomas to comfortably outpace the opposition, finishing the 4000m event in 3:57.101.
The foursome will face Russia in the first round at 1125 BST, in a match-up that looks like a formality as Britain were nine seconds faster than their opponents in qualifying. |
