She is one of our best Olympians ever and has nothing to be ashamed of.

Way too harsh guys
Medals at two consecutive Olympics, a 15yo US girl comes out of nowhere and smashes it right from the start
Adlington should be proud, great ambassador for UK sport

Eh? "harsh"est comment was that she wasn't good enough which is factual.
I was just annoyed she tried to make out a swimming bronze was better than a bronze in other sports. They mean you're 3rd best whichever sport you do. It's not like they give them out for turning up in the velodrome.
A comment like "only one person can win gold so any medal is great" would have done.

Second part I agree with. One of our best swimmers ever, yes. If she had defended her title, then Olympians possibly.
She's not Kelly Holmes level for me.
Not being sour. She gave it her all and remains a genuine competitor at the very highest level. Seems like a lovely person too.

Bronze for Rebecca, huge respect to her.
She's just not good enough. More impressed by her 400. Not the girl from 2008
Results based analysis I think - if she hadn't been trying to keep up with the pace of the winner then she would have very likely got a silver.
Even though it's her own world record - it's unlikely she'd ever have won the gold against the race that Ledecky managed

I don't know where to start.
Crowd truly awesome.
GB Men's pursuit team absolutely crushed.
I'm not a huge fan of Mexican Waves but a wave ran throughout the world record performance of the GB women's pursuit team in qualify. Stunning.
And then the best was last of all. Victoria Pendleton. I'm a hard bastard at the best of times. But I was in floods of tears when she won.
Hands are sore from clapping, voice lost through shouting.
Simply the best sporting event I've ever experienced. By far.

Great day at the Olympic Park.
Went to watch the men's hockey, and after Germany cruised to a 4-1 win over a dire India it was GB v Pakistan. GB were excellent, especially the golden boy Ashley Jackson who was involved in every GB goal. 4-1 to GB and a cracking atmosphere.
The whole Olympic Park was buzzing. A big crowd watched Grainger get that elusive gold on the big screens, and then later we watched the GB cycling team crushing. Vicky Pendleton should be the Queen imo. She's brilliant.
Talking of brilliant, Jess Ennis gave her best ever first day performance in the heptathlon. Just wish I could have been inside the stadium to see it. Atmosphere sounded incredible.
But the performance of the day for me was Tirunesh Dibaba in the women's 10,000m final. Perfectly ran race with a devastating last lap to destroy the opposition. She is a class apart. Hope Mo Farah can do the same tomorrow.

Brilliant reports!
Best Olympics ever, even better than Daley Thompson and all that when I was young-ish

Didn't see any of the tennis, but hear it was an incredible match and a brilliant performance by the BRIT called Andy Murray.

Moreover, Australia are at risk of having their worst Olympic games in living memory.
