Really surprised at the announcement that all medal-winners will be drug-tested. I thought they already were.

Bolt quoted at 8/11 by the urban cookies, not quite a lock and Blake must fancy his chances!

Truly inspirational. I was amazed at how fragile emotionally she is. The opposite to how you perceive a world class sportwoman to be. It was a real insight into how coaches are so important to athletes. |

It really was good! so loving all the Olympic shows on TV atm, other ones I enjoyed was the BBC 4 top Olympic moments and the real story off 'Chariots of Fire' film. Its currently on the ITV player.

Thought it was really enlightening seeing her comments about always racing for someone else - her dad, her coaches, her teammates - in what is an individual, gladiatoral discipline. It's really surprising that someone so flaky emotionally would succeed in that.
There's probably a better documenatry to be made purely about her and Anna Meares and their rivalry and is was a shame there wasn't much of Anna in this.

I'm hoping there will be some great documentaries to come out of London 2012. There are so many talented UK film makers, but not sure if they have been given access.

Best sports documentary I've ever watched. Absolutely compelling. Shane Sutton cam across as a thoroughly dislikeable man. I really want her to win gold now, but even more I hope she finds happiness after the Olympics are over. |

Just watched this now. Very good although best sports documentary ever is a pretty crowded field. Definitely want her to win more than ever but also think she has a tough task.
