    Didn't watch but were the Krankies there?

    They're actually competing....in the `coxed single' class in the rowing.

    Anyone watching tonight?

    You can't beat the drama and excitement some sports can provide.

    Yes, you can love football more than any other sport, but it can't touch the closing drama in a tight finish that running, swimming, cycling race.

    The English lad pulling back that 100 breastroke was superb

    Went to the rugby sevens with my boy at Ibrox yesterday, nice vibe and probably the only time Ibrox will ever offer butternut pasties and other vegetarian specials. Chicken and Haggis pies very nice.

    Brilliant run by the Aussie in the marathon and a PB for Steve Way and new over 40's British record, can't ask for more than that.

    why no headguards in the Boxing?, NI boxer has a bad cut in fight now

    Rules changed last year, seems they'll be going back to headguard next year after the number of cuts at the Commonwealths and the world championships last year

    I'm enjoying what I've seen so far. Some cracking rugby sevens amongst other sports.

    Quick question to the Charlton Life cycling fraternity:

    I caught a race earlier where an old boy tootled off on an old bike with a basket or something on the front whilst the others all lined up behind him. With 3 laps to go the old chap left the track and the riders all speeded up and started racing.

    My question is why is the old boy there and what is his role? Why don't they just race?

    Steve Way only took up running 7 years to help him give up smoking!

    He's part of the race. He's shit shot but never lasts the pace. Got a give it to the old fella for turning up all the time...

    Good job there ain't a Tesco Metro next to the velodrome as you would of seen two bags of shopping in that basket as well, crazy!

    Brilliant from him. Seems like a nice chap too, I don't suppose we can claim him as an Addick ?
