I don't think he was arrogant he was unbeaten in 9 events this year and said he was going for gold.He jumped a season best today but was beaten by the current world champion.He would have had to jump a PB to win the gold and came second by 5 centimetres.He was confident and why not if I was unbeaten all season I would have been as well.
The lad pickering held his hands up and said he was to blame,felt sorry for him,still very young,good of Marlon Devonish in possibly his last olympics to reply to him live on air that we win together and lose together.
At least three boxing medals to be won for Britain today - James DeGale fights at 0800, Tony Jeffries fights at 1401, David Price fights at 1446 all are fighting for at least a bronze and go to the Gold/silver round if they win. Plus Tim Brabants kayaks for gold shortly...
The young lad in the Taekwondo was very unlucky - missed a place in the final by losing a point in the last few seconds, then the victim of very biased judging v the Chinese guy in the bronze medal fight. He was in floods of tears afterwards. Maybe his time will come in London.

Thats an average of of 9.275 per 100m - unbelievable!
I know the relay is a flying rather than standing start but Bolt could be capable of running 9.1 for 100 METRES.
In 50 years man has got 10 yards faster.
