Over or under 2.5 more GB golds today?
Farah, huge task to do the double. Looked to be leggy in the semi, and Diabara failed to do the same
Our best chance Campbell in the boxing, slight favourite to beat Nevin
Daley doesn't look to have the form and the Chinese Diver looks unbeatable
Can't see any other chances today?
So I'd say the correct quote is 1-1.5, can't see more than 2 tops

Well we have 3 boxers and another realistic chance at Eton Dorney (the third one is an outside medal chance). Agree about Farah and Daley has looked like he has been struggling with the pressure.
But this whole fortnight has hardly followed the form book.
Loving the diver called German Sanchez Sanchez. No idea whether he's any good but apparently he is Mexican (took some reinforcement with the extra surname)

Ah! Then your line is much better!
28 should be about right. 26 is a fantastic achievement.
It's been interesting to see who has struggled with the pressure of the home crowd and who has thrived.

Lots of the younger athletes seem to have struggled on the day
Perhaps Tendler/Carter should turn their attentions to "The Mental Game of Sport".
I think, from what I've read, that cycling and rowing have used funding towards sports psychologists a lot in the last few years

Pretty sure the announcer here is Jesse May - he sounds as if he'd never heard of canoeing before today. He's enthusiastic though.
We've also had David Cameron on Bongocam...

Mens today. Women's tomorrow
Normally decent medal hopes, but no buzz for this year that I've heard

One of the gb men's twin brother was goalie for tighty's team last season so surely we should have more facts from our mastermind

2 and 7 in the women's rankings. Not without a chance.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

sigh
Sam Weale and Chris Weale are twins, from Bristol
Chris was released this offseason and signed for Shrewsbury
Sam's eyesight is probably better

Now in a Windsor pub with a pint of Pride and waiting for a fry-up.
A good day, and I'm glad I got myself to an Olympic event, especially one where we won a Gold. Good friendly atmosphere and the organisation with buses and whatnot was very good.
Minor downside - it was all over in 80 minutes. Bigger downside - very odd policy at the bar. They were open, but not serving alcohol until 9.30. But that's when the first race was, and everyone was in the stand. I snuck out to get a beer right after Ed McKeever's medal ceremony ('you're my first customer in 20 minutes'), and then when I went to get another at 10.30 was told 'these two bars (the ones beside the grandstand) are closing now, but there's another one over there, behind that big tent you can see in the distance).' WTF? Way to minimise your profits there, Einstein.

Should have nitted it up like me and gone to the triathlon for free
And then spent £95 on food and booze straight after when the pubs were open
Agree with getting to an event though, was really worth it.
