 It's interesting how the editor has set that front page.

Anyone got an easy link to a schedule of when Brits are competing each day? Have an overall one but it doesn't filter out the Brits...

Yep came here to basically ask the same thing, just like 4 years ago I am yet to find a particularly good summary of the cant miss Brit events. BBC website usually has the nearest thing to it each morning for that day.

Horrrendous crash for the Dutch girl who was leading the Womens Road Race.
Hope she is ok.

Just posted this on the strong boys thread in the lounge but it really does amaze me.
I'm watching the Weightlifting at the Olmypics on the Red Button. These little woman, it really is incredble how strong they are.
To put into perspective, the snatch that took first place in the womans 53Kg class was equal to the Scottish/British Men's senior record in the 56kg class that has stood for around 20 years. The lifter who done that was well known to have been on PEDS.
The total record for a British male lifter is 220kg, I can't see the little Chinese girl being far off that.

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

In the morning they'll show highlights of the previous day's action- time difference means there's no round up show at say 10pm as the live stuff doesn't finish till after 3am.

Whats the hardest sport to do? I vote for gymnastics, we did a fair bit of it at uni and most of us there struggled to do much more than anything basic....
