Lutalo Muhammad interview was quite a hard watch.  Fella just lost his taekwondo match in the last second for gold.  Was absolutely devastated.

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

He reappeared today and spoke to Clare Balding.  He was much more positive; proud of what he has achieved; and overwhlemed by all the messages of support.

Loved this from Eddie Izzard

Well done to you. It may seem a silver medal but it looks gold to us in the UK

I do get a little tired with the constant "he/she is the best ever" stuff, but Mo can't be far off. Daley Thompson shades it for me, but it's all so subjective.

Really enjoyed the race, which Mo seemed to control throughout.

He seemed to be acting a little odd before the start - has he always done that?

I noticed that too, normally he is quite focussed/stoic at the start but this time he was really pumping himself up. After he won the 10k he was really emotional and in his post 5k interview he said how tired he had been after the 10k, so maybe he was exhausted going into it and needed to psyche himself up to get that extra burst of energy.

After he won he was running around acting the clown like Bolt which was fun to see.

My personal favourite Olympian but the 5k/10ks have always been my fave track and field events to watch because there seems to be more psychology and drama in them.
