Well done to Plymouths finest Lithuanian 15 year old Ruta Meilutyte in the Swimming

Completely charming post event non-interview!

That 3 day event silver was great

Mary King's 6th Olympics, broker her neck in 01 and came back

Tina King's dad was Josh Gifford the trainer who died in Feb

Her horse came back from 3 blood transfusions last year, was v touch and go to make it


A great story.

I'll be watching the women's syncro 10M platform @ 3pm. Tonia Couch & Sarah Barrow could sneak a bronze.

Don't really get judo but our man lost to a certain move, 25 years building up to that and it was over in two mins.  Strange time to interview him, give it five mins at least

Went to the men's 62kg weight lifting final, it was amazing, two Olympic records and a world record for the winner, plus this Colombian guy really showed some heart to get his silver.

More than anything, I have been blown away by how well organised it has been. The transport has been great, and the volunteers are really doing this country proud, as are the squaddies that have been drafted in. Everywhere I went there were volunteers in large number helping people with big smiles on their faces.

There have been loads of other nice touches, too many to mention, but for me as long as we avoid some major international disaster, we can look back in this as a great success for Britain, no matter how many golds we get.

Seems like if you want a long Olympic career, ride a horse.

Clare Balding absolutely different class as a presenter on swimming, she has clearly done a lot of homework on it

Knocks other generalists like Humphrey, Lineker etc into a cocked hat

Very talented presenter.

She's just a quality presenter and consummate pro.

Her knowledge of rugby league is minimal, but when it's on the BBC she at least tries her best, does her research, and always has bags of enthusiasm.

Clare Balding spent how many years standing alongside Willie Carson? Enough for a medal.

Great jockey but don't enjoy his presenting style one bit.

Is North Greenwich Arena the Millenium Dome?

Is North Greenwich Arena the Millenium Dome?

Yes, otherwise known as the O2 arena in non Olympic events.

Can you not park there for the Olympics?  Would prefer a quick scoot round the M25 than sitting on the train for the same amount of time.

nm, will prob have a beer anyway, train it is
