Are we going to get any other medals?

How are the boxers doing?

I'm not sure what else GB have left to be ace at?

Sailing?

 

[- Bradders -]

Haha, Rupp spits on the floor after the 10k and Farrah very nearly roles his head onto it in celebration

 

[ijjysmith]

Lee Bumyoung. That is all.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that!

Tennis tomorrow mate.

Two silvers guaranteed, potentially two golds though.

Sailing and boxing are big hopes, yeah. Murray can still get two in the tennis, too.

Without being negative I can't see either being gold.

Federer is a robot. And then Murray will be knackered and Robson is slightly sh*t.

Ohorugu or wotever, she's defending her 800m title

It's only a 3 set match though, and Murray seems to hold the edge in those.

I love the game of football, but I have little respect for most footballers.

From watching the Olympics live and on TV I am staggered by the dedication, commitment and skill of those involved. They are truly inspirational to me, but most importantly to the younger generations. They are demonstrating through their success the results of hard work, dedication and application.

Oh that our footballers take note - they have all the advantages on the pitch and off yet still fail to achieve on the pitch and often fail in life off the pitch.

Footballers take note, apply yourselves as the British Olympic team has done and in addition to your material wealth enjoy the adoration not cynicism of the nation!

Does Farah go in the 5k?

two silvers then. That dour scottish barsteward will choke as always.

 

[tommye]

Does Farah go in the 5k?

yes. Think it's on weds or thurs.

 

[RFUS]

Isn't there still a good bit of cycling left?

Nailed on golds. I don't like to jinx anything but they actually are with cycling.
