I'm still watching. Totally addicted to indoor volleyball.

Yeah I loving it too mate, everything is interesting because you only really see it once every four years. Got the second week off work, just a coincidence, but I think I've discovered what I'm going to do in it: become nocturnal.

Epic stuff now. Turkey clawed their way back to a fifth set against Brazil (the reigning Olympic champions). Brazil had match point a few minutes ago but there's one more set. Could be a shock as, from what the presenter's said, Turkey are minnows in comparison.

 

[RFUS]

Gutted. Turkey lost it by about 3 points.

Incredible effort against the world champions.

Rest of the field conspired against Team GB to make sure Cavendish didn't win, yet Team GB conspired to try and make sure Mark Cavendish won. What did they expect?

Had to go back to work so missed it, cheers for the update though.

I know the daily mail etc always do their old "we're the best country in the world" bollocks on a daily basis, but this really has been superb so far, and I couldn't be further from it.
