 1605: Tajikistan's Dzhakhon Kurbanov has been disqualified for biting Kazakh Yerkebulan Shynaliyev in their light-heavyweight quarter-final bout in the boxing. Kurbanov, regarded as one of the favourites for the title after ousting world champion Abbos Atoev of Uzbekistan in his first bout, was trailing 12-6 when he sunk his teeth into his opponent with 17 seconds left in the third round. I wonder what Kazakhs taste like? Probably chicken. |

Not sure why the BBC are using Japanese writing on their graphics when introducing the athletes that are coming up in the broadcast. I guess they were after some Chinese-looking text and decided it looked close enough.  |

Let's not fall out over 2 medals. I mean, Chris Hoy has 3. |

If we could hold onto third that would be huge.
Here's hoping China and the USA win all the medals we can't.

So what's to look forward to tomorrow? Is there (I guess there is) a schedule?

On the non-British front, boltpp going for the double should be fairly spectacular.

Women's 10,000m swim starts in a few hours - we could win that. Good for a medal at least. http://www.olympics.org.uk/beijing2008/AthleteProfile.aspx?id=6650 |
