Natasha is a really decent boxer and probably deserves a medal but she's miles away from Taylor and there is no shame in that

Really feel for Jonas, she deserved a medal on the strength of yesterday and showing today, shes miles better then the two in the following fight.

Really unlucky.

Katie is just different class, something very very special.

That fight deserved to be the final.

Just no comparison to the fight on now.

The gymnastics is going quite well, can't stand when the Chinese are on it - as all the team mates shout out during the routine - its very annoying!!

I was excited by the 100m in the build-up as people were mentioning 'the beast' and how he beat Bolt in two previous races as well as seeing Gatlin winning his past races with ease, Bolt being my favourite sprinter ever, I was delighted to see he proved doubters wrong and set a new Olympic record.

Four years and its over in ten seconds. Bit like my sex life...

 

[Dom1878]

silver so far

If she nailed the dismount she would be gold right now

She is in bronze at the moment with the Olympic all round champion to come last...so who knows what shes going to get!

 

[Dom1878]

Bit gutted for Komova - messed up abit today but really does deserve a gold - shame!

 

[Pblueman]

mess up by the american bronze position surely for beth

Great Britain's womens hockey team have qualified for the semi-finals after China lost to Japan, meaning they can't be caught.

 

[Pblueman]

really pleased for beth there she has worked so hard

Savannah Marshall world champ losing on points going into the last and pretty poor scoring last round for me?

Out , two women's boxers out today and disappointed there as I though Marshall was good for a least a silver.

How harsh is this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19152117

They should have disqualified Federer then after the first two sets yesterday.

she started the last round 2 points behind and ended it 4 behind, did i just hear that right? i did not see the kazhak throw one punch in the whole of the 4th, never mind land one, seriously poor scoring there
