Watched the Bolt 200m race again and its so funny after it finishes the commentator does not have a clue who came 2nd and 3rd..

It was so true though, it was ALL about bolt.

I LOLd at that too.  Then it transpired that it didn't matter anyway, as the 2nd and 3rd finishers were disqualified! 

Apparently we had a runner in that race as well...

Oh it's been pointed out on the BBC site that we've exceeded our target of 41 medals (we have 39 and three guaranteed in the boxing).  Could have got odds of 10/1 on that bet at the start of the Olympics.

Well done Team GB thumbs up

Completely.  Also totally unfair to the ones who get the dodgy horses!
