That pile up in the BMX race was terrible! Only one rider managed to escape. GB are guaranteed a medal in the Dressage Individual Freestyle

Another gold for Nicola Adams in the Boxing, not my favourite sport, but I watched it as I knew she was tipped to win the female boxing.

Disgraceful that South Africa have been given a place in the final of the men's 4x400m relay. There's only one reason why Why, what happened?

There was a collision between one of the South African runners and one of the Kenyans and the South African went down injured, leaving Oscar Pistorius stood on the finish line, waiting for the baton, which never arrived...

National Anthems? Ours is rubbish. Here's my medal awards for anthems.. Gold - France As a youtube commenter points out many of the extras were refugees from occupied France. Even some of the Germans were escaping German Jews...

SPOTY gets more and more econvoluted.
Charlotte Dujardin must surely be in there. That was just beautiful - my fave moment of the Games so far.
Hopefully the fact that it is very much a minority sport won't go against her.
Nicola Adams was amazing too.

That 800m was insane.
Still can't take any of the stuff on horses seriously...

Warning I've gone into smug mode.
In my local public house a fortnight ago we were discussing the upcoming Olympics Athletics programme and I argued that David Rudisha is the best athlete in the world today instead of Usain Bolt, and none of the others knew whom I was talking about bar one who asked if I was talking about that new 800m runner.
... so of course having said that you just know the Jamaican guy will run under 19.19 seconds in 40 minutes time.

Bolt will never run under 19.19, he isnt a 200m runner and is past his best, he is still a mile better than the rest but world records are past him in this form, he was so scared blake might do him
