In all the excitement, I've been calling it the wrong event. It was C2, rather than K2. Kayaks are stupid anyway.

i felt a bit emotional after she was thanking her late mum after winning. really hope she can pull it out of the bag, what a fantastic achievement for the sport in britain and a tribute to the person who got her into judo

That was GB's first ever canoe slalom gold and the first shooting gold since 2000.

I used to do Judo twice a week when I was in school, and it's not an easy sport.

Things going well in sailing today. Percy and Simpson extend their lead in the Star class, Ben Ainslie beats his Danish rival twice to close the gap to three points, and GB takes an early lead in the men's 470 with 1st and 2nd place finishes in the opening races.

Brilliant results, I saw some of that double canoeing the other day, and they were doing very well, never thought we'd get gold and silver though, awesome!!!

Gemma Gibbons gets the silver. She looked pretty beaten in the end.

She was out on her feet. Understandable, especially considering she'd had one extra bout but it was a great effort to reach the final.
Meanwhile, things are getting very tasty in the velodrome!
