So to sum up GB's performance so far (clears throat)





One-two (slalom canoe), rowing, cycling, guns.

The Ukranian has appeald the decsion in the Oggogo fight. It'll get overturned. The judges got the count back wrong

This velodrome looks incredibly quick. World and Olympic records falling all over the place

Just saw the Japanese boxer who lost despite his opponent barely standing for most of the last round, embarrassing stuff there

The decsion got overturned I think.

Victoria Pendleton. Oops. I bet the other girl who just had her games ended isn't too pleased. 4 years of effort, early starts, keeping yourself in shape and millions no doubt in funding and you do that?

Can someone explain this rule that just decided the order in the women's sprint race? GB eliminated because of it and China relegated from gold to silver. No one on the commentary seems to be able to explain it in anything other than technical terms, despite the presenter asking the question several times. Something about going beyond the plain of the first wheel by a mark of tape on the ground?

Like the baton change in athletics the overtake must take place between two marks, Pendleton passed too early so auto relegation to second in the race - not surprised the member of the team who gets another go did interviews to say she felt it wasn't a big deal and the one who didn't left the arena

Interesting interview after the men's victory - sounded like they "cheated" in qualifying for mine



Good day of Olympics today, I have achieved absolutely sod all watching sports I have absolutely no interest in because I couldn't look away

It was something to do with being relegated in the round you're in. We did it in round one so were relegated in that round. China did it in the final so were relegated in the final, i.e. to last place in that round.



Have to say I was a bit disappointed with Pendleton's response to it all, publicly at least. No hint of sympathy for Varnish, that I've heard at least.

In the interview I heard Pendleton said she was really sorry for Varnish and also said that it was both of thier fault's.









She was clearly very upset and emotional and I thought it was quite magnanimous of her especially as the whole thing was actually Varnish's fault and Pendleton must've known this before she made the interview.

Start of the athletics today. Come on Jessica Ennis!!!!

good start for Ennis
