    Cracking tottty hockey on now. South Africa vs New Zealand.
    I do hope the Kiwi forward Sophie Cocks didn't get picked on at school.

    Cocks was standing a little to upright........................do the commentators realise what they are saying.

    The winner of the 100m would've finished last in the 100m final at London 2012

    But would have won every Olympics (apart from Hines altitude assisted win in 1968) up to 1984.

    Watched some of the swimming last night and was delighted to see the English do so well, with the 4x100m mens relay even beating a much fancied Australian team to the gold. Granted the Aussies still picked up more than double the number of medals than we did in the pool but still a pretty good achievement.

    I also watched some of the disabled swimming and thought the category that some of the swimmers were placed in was a little unfair. How on earth does a woman with virtually no arms get classified as a 9 (barely disabled) for the frakkin' breaststroke? Racing against some of the other people with no visible disability. She came last by the way.

    Is it possible that we might win this, or have Australia got too many events where they are likely to win gold?

    We really do have some great young talent in events we've not really got a history in like diving and Gymnastics.

    Journeyman? I know she is not the most feminine.

    That 400 was unbelievable!

    Every time I see the replay I think the Bahamian has got it then our bloke just kicks again as he hits the line!

    Hope that Welsh pole vaulter, Sally Peake keeps going.
