They were never serious contenders, really. They're European champions but there's too much strength across the rest of the world.
GB's best chance of a diving medal was always going to be Tom Daley in the individual competition.

argh! having missed the last two riders in the eventing so i could watch the diving, i now find out that sara algotsson ostholt missed out on being the first woman to win individual gold in olympic eventing - on the last fence! unbelievable that a woman still hasn't won it with the number of amazing female eventers out there....

^ That was annoying, clipping the last fence right at the end.

Watching Laura Robson taking Maria Sharapova to a tiebreak. She's playing superbly.

Some great music chosen for the floor routines. Especially the Romanian who was shown about 15 minutes ago.

Our girls did great in the Hockey again too. Shame we had what looked like a bad injury though

Allison Schmitts gold was very deserved, she was most impressive. I didn't think that Chad Le Clos was going to beat Mark Phelps either. I know this post is not very descriptive, but that's as good as you get from me in regards to sport.

Quote of the day - Jemma Lowe getting interviewed on 5 Live after qualifying for the 200m butterfly final and being told Phelps hadn't won the men's race:
"sh*t!"

7th was probably about right for her in the 200m IM but she should've been contending for a medal in the 400.

The GB women's football team have just beaten Brazil 1-0 in front of 70,000 at Wembley to finish top of the group with a 100% record and will face Canada in the quarter-finals on Friday.

the 200m men's breaststroke final tomorrow is looking promising for GB - first and third-fastest qualifiers! i think michael jamieson will be lucky to get gold but you never know, it looks like we could be on for at least one medal there.

A medal is a medal, we'll take what we can get.
