I love her.

 

[Skeeter]

Aww Jess!

 

[Merlin5]

I don't know about anyone else but after that hour of medal winning, I'm sweating lol.

I think us forumites deserve a gold medal

 

[NuclearWinter]

I never thought I would ever see a Brit win the 10,000m. Still can hardly believe it, absolutely amazing.

Massive congratulations to all the British medal winners today!

What a day it's been for a British sports.

I tried to find the 'GB Poor' thread, but couldn't.

It got baleeted after everyone ripped the pee out of the OPs when the gold rush started.

 

[steveo]

she is such a sweet heart

 

[Guerrilla]

Aww Jess!

Can't help but smile when she's on

 

[Skeeter]

Hang on, is Jess entered in the hurdles too?

Still think bradley wiggins should win even if its only for his tour de france achievement alone yet alone his gold medal

I think Knighthoods would be better served to our countries ambassadors and champions than a silly television popularity contest.

Do remember also that Murray could potentially get two gold medals.

Bradley Wiggins has had to work the hardest, physically and mentally, for this years achievements and so I think he will win. If Ennis wins then we know that it is just a popularity contest and can simply ignore the show for ever more, much like the eurovision song contest.

Did he just say 120miles week in week out

 

[kiteloopy]

What a day to be British. Oh man.

I'm speechless, anyone else got that overwhelming sense of pride and patriotistm right now? All this couldn't have come at a better time for this country.

yes, I do!

 

[Skeeter]

Caps lock dude...

Her time in the Heptathlon would have won gold in the hurdles in Bejing.

 

[Dano]

Epic stuff, topped off with a good hearty laugh when Mo started doing the Mobot

 

[Marmot]

I feel a bit teary eyed after the interviews there.

Yeah I thought it was announced before the games that she was planning to double up?

Doing 7 events in 2 days should make the heats etc seem pretty easy tbh.

Given the times she is capable off she should hopefully make the final and maybe even challenge for a medal (silver or bronze, Pearson is nailed on for the gold).

I'm sure people know this but her hurdle time in the hep would have got her the Gold for the standalone event in the 2008 Olympics!

If you're talking about SPOTY then it's always been a popularity contest. Not sure how you could see it as anything else. It says it right there on the tin.

Are we at number one of the medals table then above china? We could be forgiven for thinking so after today's medal haul.
