So my boss has been going on about Mo being a hero for managing to beat The Cube. I think Olympic gold may, just, beat that.

Boris has an even stronger chance of becoming PM now, and Seb Coe might become Sir Lord Lord Coe 
I too felt the same especially since due to the Olympics being held in London I've had to work at the Olympic site often doing very long hours. However after having had the privilege of seeing the opening ceremony in person and the great attitude exhibited by the volunteers and staff that run the events all my negativity went out the window. I'm so proud to be a born and bred East Londoner for the majority of my life and most importantly part of Great Britain.
I've spent the entire day screaming at the TV and now my voice has gone. I feel so proud to be British, it's amazing a melting pot of people of varying ethnic origins waving the British flag. This is what it's all about seeing all of us come together.
I've always said it but I'll say it again...I Love London!!!!

Certainly wouldn't have hurt him training with Mo
Could be argued that Mo is the one that has benefitted more given his performances before and since moving to Oregon...

When was Mo given his medal? I missed it completely... It wasn't on the athletic channel.

Mo and Greg get theirs tomorrow.

It's a shame he wasn't named. Could do without people like that having so much influence over British athletics.

Ah sod it, think I'll watch the highlights and relive the whole thing again
It has been fantastic to watch it all so far and to think that I wasn't even bothered with it. Thoroughly impressed with everything I've seen so far. Loved the archery, badminton, volleyball, rowing, cycling and all the athletic events over the last 2 days. Simply Brilliant.
Here's to a few golds tomorrow

Such an incredible day, got to admit when it got to the final straight and Ennis just went for it even though she didn't need to....there were tears in my eyes.
I just want to share with you a picture I took whilst working around the Olympic venue the other day.
It's such a majestic stadium and a lot of hard work has gone into making London 2012 the spectacular success that it is.
What an incredible sight!

When she stepped out and went for it was just superb

I'm pretty sure Jess will get the sportsman of the year over Wiggins. The TV coverage tonight is pretty much all about her, more than any of the others, and she's an athlete who won a medal through multiple events.
No chance.
