as expected, ed clancy pulls a stunner off in the 1km sprint which is the final event in the omnium.
now he's in for some nervous waiting to see what his rivals can do...

A bit sad that they have to settle for silver after that

Silver for Robson and Murray.
Ed Clancy gets bronze in the omnium.

aww, that's a shame still, i'm delighted for murray to have got the gold in the singles, and a silver for murray and robson - who i must say has really outdone herself in this competition - is great.

For all we know Murray could have been tired after his singles match with Federer, so I'm not really fussed with the Silver Medal, Gold would have been nice, at least we were guaranteed a medal of some sorts, so I wasn't really paying much attention to the match.

Yeah, I was expecting Andy to pick up silver in both matches to be honest, but I guess after the surprise victory in singles I was hoping it would be repeated with Laura.

Anyone know if we have any exhibition sports at the olympics?

No, they got ditched a while back. I think Barcelona in 1992 was the last time they officially had demonstration sports.

Brilliant medal for Ed Clancy, the omnium is probably the even I've enjoyed most from the whole Olympics, so different and entertaining, I can't wait for the Women's version!

Is it only me who finds the 100M sprint the least showcase event?

Is it only me who finds the 100M sprint the least showcase event? No I feel the same. I just can't get as excited as everyone else about something that's over in under 10 seconds. They try to string out the slow-motion replays for the best part of an hour as well.

I do find the 100m brilliant, but it's certainly not one of my favourite events.

it is, I can run 100m, I couldn't throw a shot put.

I could. Not very far, but I could do it. I was OK at discus when I was younger. Rubbish at javelin, though. I kept hitting myself in the back of the head...

Not with the pointy bit, obviously...
