I didn't think the GB Football team would top the group, I'm not a particular fan of the set of players used though, at least they got the job done.

DAY 6 GOLD MEDAL EVENTS:
ARCHERY Women's individual
CANOEING Men's C-2 slalom Women's K-1 slalom
CYCLING Women's team sprint Men's team sprint
FENCING Women's team foil
GYMNASTICS Women's individual all-around
JUDO Women's 78kg Men's 100kg
ROWING Men's double sculls Men's lightweight four Women's eight
SHOOTING Men's double trap
SWIMMING Women's 200m breaststroke Men's 200m backstroke Men's 200m individual medley Women's 100m freestyle
TABLE TENNIS Men's singles
=====================================
Day 5 finally saw GB win its first gold medals and there could be more on Day 6 with opportunities in rowing and cycling.
The men's lightweight four qualified fastest for their final and look like favourites to win gold. GB has boats in the other two finals but will be hard pressed to win a medal.
Tomorrow also sees the start of the action in the velodrome and the first medals will be awarded in the men's and women's team sprint. GB has a chance of a medal in both but recent results suggest the men won't be retaining their title from Beijing.
There is an outside chance of another medal in the pool with Fran Halsall in the 100m freestyle.
After the disappointment of David Florence in the C1 canoe slalom, GB has two pairs in the semi-finals of the C2 event. Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott were 4th quickest in Monday's qualifying, while Florence gets another bite of the cherry, partnered by Richard Hounslow. Lizzie Neave is in the women's K1 after qualifying 2nd quickest.
INFOSTRADA SPORTS' VIRTUAL MEDAL TABLE PREDICTION:
Gold: 1 - men's lightweight four
Silver: none
Bronze: 2 - women's team sprint, Fran Halsall

I was never expecting them to do that well again, not with the likes of China and US dominating practically every sport. But we definitely could have been doing better than we are right now had it not been for a few costly mistakes.

i wasn't expecting a repeat performance of beijing either but it seems a lot of journalists have been. i got quite cross when i read something on the BBC website about the GB swimmers 'underperforming' - becky adlington swam faster than she did to win gold in beijing in the 400m and still only got the bronze! hardly 'underperforming' the only two shots we really had at medals that we've blown so far IMO are mark cavendish's disappointing road race and the individual eventers on tuesday. possibly kristian thomas could have had a bronze yesterday if he hadn't messed up his vault, but we didn't really go into the gymnastics expecting medals anyway - and a team bronze is a fantastic result. lizzie armitstead could possibly have got a gold in the women's road race but a silver is pretty awesome too. overall we've done very well so far, and with lots more rowing and cycling to come - not to mention becky adlington's main event and the athletics next week - we've got plenty of reasons to expect more medals, some of which might be gold.

on another note, has anyone noticed how the commentators - across many of the disciplines - have consistently got stuff wrong? it's particularly bad in the swimming. they get competitors from the same country confused with each other, they begin to talk about X's training partner and then forget who that was, and just now they've been talking about 'lauren boyle of the USA' when it says very clearly on the screen that boyle is from new zealand. it's very disappointing to see such sloppiness from commentators who have allegedly been chosen because they know their sport, and for any tourists who are here watching on the BBC it gives the impression that the commentators couldn't give a monkey's about anyone who isn't british when there's a british competitor in the race.
