Shame, as they really seemed to be pipped at the last by the Danes, but credit to the Danes who gave a phenominal finish to win that.

 

Although disappointed by 'only' a silver, it was a bit of a relief though that they were able to continue.I feared the worst when they pulled up after the first start, despite all the camera angles BBC didn't confirm if within 100m or not.

 

Agree about the raw emotion though of the competitors here, the two girls overawed and humbled by their success, than Mark Hunter &Zac Purchase, physically drained by their efforts and struggling with disappointment of their 'failure'.Great credit to them (and John Inverdale) for showing their human side.

 

CVnts like Rooney, Giggs et al should take note.

 

Our first gold medal at the games! They knew they could win a sprint, but they admitted that they were scared sh*tless about the british guys, and that the Eton Roar was the craziest they had experienced in their careers :)

Right, I'll say it. Isn't the amount of hyperbole surrounding Ennis just a but too much? Yes she's clearly good and has achieved something amazing, but then so have all the gold medal winners and the media really do seem to go over the top about her. If she was a munter there's no way they'd bang on about her quite so much.

 

I don't think so. She competes in a jack of all trades discipline and is capable of being the best in the world at just one of the tasks (Matching the last olympic winning time in the 100m hurdles...) while not sacrificing competitiveness in any of the others.

 

Truly incredible.

Those who kept moaning about the Olympics for the last few years can go fuk themselves.

It is. The word from the people working there, that the "family" are just blown away with the facilities but also having an Olympics in London is a massive draw itself

 

It is the most attended and WR have been tumbling all over the place

 

Also, the legacy will be the best yet

I have to say I was wrong to doubt its success. The whole thing has been a huge celebration of being British. Fifa are idiots quite frankly. An English world cup would have been a huge success and they opted for mediocrity.

What an astonishing day of TV to watch.

 

I've been here 19 years & this is the first time a Sat channel that I have (or a time zone) have let me watch the Olympics.

 

Somewhere deep down I'm convinced I've seen more Gold medals in one day than in my entire life before landing here.

 

Wow, just wow Rowers Cyclists & FFS the athletes.

 

Oh and you know what - with all our oversized women these days around the pubs & clubs, cannot be long before we find some Olympic women Shot Putters or Discus throwers
