100m final in 4 mins. I fancy the man from Ned. to medal (Martina - I think). Just a silly inkling.

phew I'm worn out with all this sport ;-)...been sat glued to the tv tonight.
Really funny watching Bolt and Co. 'strutting their stuff' lol so macho :-D.......Bolt ran like the wind, deserved his Gold

Pity Ross Murray and Adam Gemili missed out but good experience for them,and also a shame Andy and Laura just lost on a play off,but won Silver.

Looking good on the Athletics table :-D

Well, I was wrong about Martina. But Bolt really deserved Gold. Just heard a the Jamaican commentary of race ... another Gold Medal effort.

Rather sorry that Gatlin came third, as he has had two bans for drug abuse. I don't think that he should have been in the Olympics at all.

Have enjoyed watching all the Olympic events so far. Don't usually get a chance to watch Cycling, i'ts so exciting!!

I had a letter this morning with a first class stamp showing our rowers.

Think it's a great idea that all the gold medal winners will have stamps on which their photos are printed.
Would be better if all medal winners could be involved but suppose you can't have everything.
Just watching medal ceremony for the show Jumpers.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Take care
