Just how good will the Olympics be?

[kinboshi]

Unless she gets injured, it's a nailed on gold.  She could pretty much jog round (not sure what her lead equates to in terms of seconds in the 800m, but it's a lot), but there's no way she's going to do that.  She'll be trying her damnedest to do her best in that too.

Good to see our rising star Katarina Johnson-Thompson holding her own.  One to watch for the future definitely.

Matthew Pinsent:

From the BBC:

TEAM GB ONES TO WATCH

So what to expect from this afternoon's action. Well, in addition to the women's team pursuit team aiming to ape their male counterparts gold-winning performance from last night, Ed Clancy and Jason Kenny are in velodrome action in the omnium and individual sprint respectively.

The GB hockey girls take on China at 1600 BST with anything more than a defeat sending them through to the last four.

The men's football team meet South Korea in their quarter-final in Cardiff at 1930 BST.

While Andy Murray is due back on court this evening in as he and Laura Robson take on German duo Sabine Lisicki and Christopher Kas in their second mixed doubles match of the day, having beaten Australians Sam Stosur and Lleyton Hewitt

If we look a little further ahead to this evening's action then you can start licking your lips for a medal tilt from Mo Farah at 10,000m at 2115 BST, plus Jessica Ennis of course.

the 100m runner who's 18 and only gave up football and started on the track at January, already world junior champion in 10.05s is another

Future for Rio is bright.

Gemili is definitely one to watch.  Even though his hair makes him look like a lego man.

Oh, I thought we were already in the final so was confused.

How much of an impact has Redgrave had with the rowing ? I assume he has a big input. Just seem some of the interviews of those that got gold, incred.

Kate Walsh, GB women's hockey captain playing again today after breaking her jaw in a match last week. How tough?

[mondatoo]

Women's persuit team are just ridiculous, best of any of the cyclists imo, unreal.
