It could be worse, you could be Freya Murray, who got the call to say Paula Radcliffe wasn't running, and has had to leave a message on her computer saying "out of the office as I'm running in the London Marathon":eek::T:eek::T. The best of luck to her!!!!

I had thanked the OP for his ironic post - but removed it as just posting it eats into the wall of joy that I have for the Olympics. Apart from the actual medal tally, which is wonderful, there are so many other super moments. Bert le Clos's interviews; the Jessop's sheltered accommodation 'Olympics', done with such amazing humour and self-deprecation; the audiences singing the National Anthem so gustily (albeit with timing issues), and this is only one week down.

Is it worth the money - absolutely!

And I hope that the Performance Directors and coaches receive the honours they deserve.

So, "That's all good then".

...and Ben Ainslie has just won his sailing gold, after a very difficult race.

What a courageous, determined man!

Brilliant! I hadn't heard that! Just watching the tennis at the moment. It's days like this I wish I had one of those CCTV type control panels in front of me so I could take my pick of channels and flick between them when things go from interesting to off the scale we're about to get another medal:o.

Absolutely. Both the races today were great to watch.
Both close but the gold and silver were the other way round to what I (and I suspect most people) expected, what with Simpson and Percy's points lead.
