Peter Wilson won the skeet...........shotgun clay pigeon.
but sadly so far,no UK shooter did well in any other shooting event!
possibly thanks to our governments' ban on pistol shooting.

Don't know much about pistol shooting Bob,but do they not have clubs to train in?

Exciting day today lots of medal to be won.
With chances for gold for Mo Farah... the men's coxless four.... triathlete Helen Jenkins and Jessica Ennis hoping to complete the Hepthathlon with a win.

Watching the Triathlon at the moment.

Go GB!! :-D

No, pistol shooting is totally banned. No clubs, nothing. Our teams have to go abroad to train, at their own expense.

Some sports are more equal than others. Yet we have allowed foreign comptitors to take part in a sport our own countrymen are denied.

I cant believe how interested I have got in the games this time round, watched Victoria cycle for gold last night and cheered when she won, watched the swimming watched our Jessica but I also watched the 100000 miles run even though our girls wasnt placed what a race, :-D

Oh I didn't know that Eldrick.Do the same rules apply for rifle and pidgeon shoot as well. Just doesn't seem right at all, giving some countries an unfair advantage! :-|

I've always loved watching the Olympics Hayley but think having it staged in London, with the fabulous venues,probably gives it an edge this time around.

:-( Helen Jenkins came in fifth but what a grueling race...all winners in my eyes.

Jessica Ennis next ........no beep beep h*******k today that's for sure :-D

ANOTHER GOLD...rowing 4 mens

wow and another Copeland and Hosking win the women's double lightweight sculls!!!!! :-D :-D

Just watched that didnt they make it look so easy :-D

They certainly did :-).... and now the drama of Hunter and Purchase's sculls race (after a false start)....they got silver, but seeing them soo upset and disappointed at not getting gold they're in tears and I'm in tears for them :-(

How emotional was that!

Boo hoo........ :-(

Mau, no, rifle and clay shooting are still begrudgingly allowed, just pistol shooting is banned here.

Sport for all - as long as it's politically correct and doesn't offend anyone.

Well done to my daughter's friend Kerina Bryant for her Bronze in the judo, Fourth time lucky, and after so much hard work. M

Strange other guns allowed though.....and also archery? have you seen the size of those bows :-0,could do some damage with those :-| as you say sport for all?

I watched Kerina win her Bronze she did well,especially after her opponent kicked her in the shins and made her lip bleed...I was shouting at the tv lol :-D

Well done to your daughters friend Kerina....brilliant:))

Missed some this morning after the Mens 4 x rowing...back in now:)

A young cashier in W------e this afternoon told my sister that Victoria Pendleton had backed out of the Olympic games....but l have'nt seen anything to suggest that, me thinks he was winding peeps up:((((...lol
