Wow what a swim from Peaty - destroyed the field
Carlin also with a superb silver in her race with a great time

Shame about the fencer just missing out but some real opportunities coming up with the canoeing

The organisers didn't really think well with the placement of the rowing lake - that's going to cause a lot of issues and lots of empty seats at every event
 
So a pretty successful night for GB

Good bronze medals for the trap shooter and Daley in the diving

The ladies were unlucky in the rugby sevens - some silly choices in the semi

Hockey girls doing well and some great chances in the pool coming up

Think we could see a flurry of medals as the rowing gets to the deep end as well
 
Is it me or are we not performing. So many being touted as medal chances, the men gymnasts a shining example, and they aren't delivering. Yes it's fine margins, but we simply don't seem to be delivering in the heat. Equestrian and kayak are examples

Wait for the Athletics and Cycling!

I am... but even then I don't think we'll perform in the velodrome as well as being expected. Same goes for the track

Oh good. At least we then won't spawn another couple of thousand lycra clad road hogs getting in the way on a Sunday mornings drive to the course.
 
Good start in the Rugby 7's for the men

Tennis looking good and some good performances from the divers and gymnasts

Still waiting for a magic moment in the games that lights it all up - lots of empty seats have really killed the atmosphere and it appears the fans are now starting to boo the oppositions whenever Brazil are playing - that's just not right at Olympics

Heard from a friend that John Inverdale referred to our team eventually as England plus 2 scots after referring to team GB as England. Tosser.
 
Good night in the pool

Great swim from O Conner to get the silver only beaten by prob the best medley swimmer around at the moment

And the relay team got a superb silver with a brilliant last leg from Guy - hopefully that helps with his disappointment from the individual races

Its definitely you. At this very moment, BBC Breakfast have just said that Team GB are on target for medal numbers.
 
HomerJSimpson said:
And is that target more or fewer than London (I don't know hence the question).

The target is less but we have as many as at the same point as last time. I remember thinking, last time, that we were struggling and then went on to over achieve against the then target.

Still you.

Has your friend just heard BBC Scotland Breakfast news reporter comment on the "success of the Scottish contingent." I also thought it was Team GB. Another tosser?
