Jade Jones because she got better with every round, plus she's only 19. Immensely proud of the cyclists and the rowers and Mo. Jess, has been mentioned has had "THAT" event and gold round her neck for 4 years and she smashed it. To be third on the medal table - should make everybody proud to be British once more.
Yep after tonight's performance I am gonna change my mind & say that was my favourite. That is the best run race I have ever seen by a british athlete. Knew exactly how to control the race from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant!!
Would have to be Mo....but was really impressed with the Kenyen Rhodisia....an amazing run in the 800 metres...no messing around with tactics with that lad.
Seems that our very own Gemma Gibbons (Judo silver medalist from Charlton) was fighting with a broken thumb, not easy I reckon in that particular sport. If Gemma had had two thumbs working I reckon she would've golded.
I wonder if Gemma Gibbons is a fan of the club? If she is the club could invite her to a match and she could parade her medal at half time. I seem to remember Dame Kelly Holmes at a match after she won in double gold Athens. The image of Gemma mouthing "I love you mum" up to the sky is one of the iconic moments from London 2012 for me.
I'm a Trustee of Greenwich Starting Blocks, the Charity created by Royal Greenwich to identify and financially support talented athletes based in Greenwich. We have been supporting Gemma since we launched the charity and in fact it was only Starting Blocks funding that enabled Gemma to take part in the pre-Olympics selection events in Samoa and South Korea. Watching her win the silver medal was fantastic and a very proud moment for all the Trustees.
Starting Blocks actually had three athletes in the Games, young weightlifter Zoe Smith who broke the British Record and Tosin Oke, representing Nigeria came 7th in the Triple Jump. We also have an athlete taking part in the Paralympic Games; wheelchair rugby's Andy Barrow.

Great stuff .
