    Horrible tv presentation though...you couldn't see what they were shooting at. When it was on in the Commonwealth Games they had a split screen so you could see the clay.

    Incredible swim from the 4x200m boys, lead more or less start to finish.

    The Women's 7's have been great...although we didn't do too well, a fantastic silver medal for Canada and topped off for me by both the USA and Canada beating Australia, one of the most arrogant, entitled sports teams I've seen.

    How did Alex Yee win that? I thought he was going to end up with bronze. Phenomenal.

    I knew in my head that he was going to win, he’s by far the best runner and he’s not daft enough to mess up his pacing just because someone else went out faster. That didn’t mean I wasn’t screaming for him at the end though! :D

    The ladies rowing 4 was unbelievable, but I'm still struggling with people doing things at the same time ie synchronised.

    Talks that Boxing won’t be an Olympic sport again as IMO (supply the judges) have been kicked out amid partly dodgy scoring and rumours over the person running it(some Russian)
