Oh, one other thing, before I got my athletics tickets I had got tickets for the womens handball bronze medal match which I now can't use. I am not sure of the face value price (as they came as part of a package) but they are Category C and the game starts at 1700 on August 11th. I will not have them in my hand until next Friday afternoon but am willing to meet if anyone wants to buy them at face value. If anyone wants to take their kid I will sell one at half face value. Similarly if anyone knows of a couple of disadvantaged teenagers or similar that this will inspire I will sell both at half face value. Happy to listen to any other ideas etc.

wp, love all these stories of enjoying the olympics as well. It's been so uplifting just watching on TV, hard to imagine how good it is live

The atmosphere at every venue has sounded pretty special. I massively regret not making more of an effort to get tickets.

Liz McColgan's daughter Eilish is out in the 3,000m steeplechase soon. She looks the spit of her mother, and makes me feel even older
She's lucky to be running at all

She won't get in the medals today but Rio and the Commonwealth games will be realistic.

Not sure what the medal target was for the GB rowing team was, but they must have exceeded it. Superb performance.

They were targeting 6 medals (we got 2G, 2S, 2B in Beijing) so easily beat

Gutted for our pair who couldn't defend their Beijing gold. Danes just too strong.
Back in the athletics, I don't usually want anyone to lose - but I'll make an exception for the serial drug-cheat Gatlin.

Think my fave moment of the games so far is the "we're going to be on a stamp" moment from Copeland

Wasn't the rowing brilliant
Inverdale sobbing when the silver medals guys said they had let people down
The look on Copeland's face when she won gold

Commentators say it's now nailed on gold. I sure hope they are right. Looking forward to tonight's 800 finish.
