Just how good will the Olympics be?

[Longy]

Two Brits make the 200m breast stroke final & both on great form 

First and third fastest to boot.  Nice work fellas

Tomorrow we've got a few finals in the pool and in the rowing.  Should be seeing our first golds...

Cycling time trial is tomorrow as well, which Wiggins is favourite for.

Chad's dad seems a good bloke. Great moment for us to see. WP bbc

Everyone needs to stop panicking! We won 17 medals in two days in Beijing, so plenty of time. We've only had a couple of surprises really where we thought we were going to medal but didn't.

We're making more finals this time around in swimming, so something will happen.

Yeah that was quality.

"Look at him his beatuful, I'm fat and old, sorry about that BBC"

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.

Get more tilted by Humphrey then any other presenter, can't stand him. Think Colin Murray is better than him and he's awful, at least Murray knows he's shite..lols

Did you get tickets for anything Kin?

Got tickets for the men's hockey this Friday, but didn't get the athletics tickets I wanted (men's 10k fina, heptathlon final, triple jump final, etc.).

There were tickets available for that last night on the website.

Try around midnight, you might be lucky.

well i have just come back from the Ricoh Arena, Cameroon v New Zealand, never seen so much security and purple coat people who were the friendliest people i have ever seen at a sporting event and we should be very proud to be British, the atmosphere was pumped up in the stadium and a real good game to, dont park in Tesco superstore as the charge was £25.00 worth of shopping and leave your bill on the windscreen and no charge........ nice one Tesco

Sir Bradley Wiggins to start the gold rush tomorrow.

[TightEnd]

Catching up with the badminton

Both teams want to lose their last group game to avoid China in the Quarters

Crowd boo, referee called

team trying to lose points, goes on for hours lol

still being discussed at venue

In theory 4 teams get chucked out for deliberately losing


All other badminton at the Olympics until this one has been straight knockout by draw, might be back that way for Rio!

[TightEnd]

Like these, think London is doing a good job presenting itself to the world

[flushthemout]

i enjoyed it that much i might side step the £200.00 at Dtd on Friday and watch the GB Women

[The Camel]

My highlight so far was Gabon and Switzerland fans doing the conga round St James's Park.

Wish I'd taken my camera.

From the BBC:

 The longest rally in the first game lasted four shots.
