For such a small nation we are doing very well , but it does show if you throw good money at things it really helps.

I guess this is potentially the last as Great Britain if Scotland bog off?

We are now second in the medal table albeit it seems to be worked on Golds only not overall totals which is weird. I think if this games does not get people motivated to take up sport then nothing will although I think some of the specialist type clubs are flooded with applications Gymnastics, Archery etc. I guess its like January, they get flooded initially then die off.

 

[Otis]

With my aim a lot of people would die off in the archery.

That tennis final was intense, well done andy. First male tennis player to be a double Olympic champion in singles

God he made hard work of it though
Not at his best
Del Potro so slow, they should have sanctions against such delay IMO.

 

[wingy]

Helen Skelton is easy on the eye though...and those dresses certainly do distract from her presenting skills...

I liked it that she was a bit "Ditzy "
There was a bit of a twitterstorm as you could see a brastrap and a bit of leg then she went for a cover up
Sad really in this day and age that a grown woman can't dress how she feels without attracting Victorian attitude.

Golf should most definitely be in the Olympics.

I have about five TV channels that show Olympic coverage. One shows tennis exclusively and one shows golf exclusively. I have not tuned in to either channel once.
There are already more than enough major tournaments for both sports, they don't need to be in the Olympics.

Just shows how sporting we are. Brilliant to see.

Those women hockey players showed us how to win a penalty shoot out. And I noticed they take knocks as part of the game, bloody hell they put footballers to shame !

 

[Otis]

True. A really rock hard ball hit at them at real pace, crashing into their bones and bodies and they more often than not they just get up and carry on playing.

Hats off to them!

That make our footballers look soft as they don't roll about and just get on with it.

I wish Tom Daley would piss off, he has a boyfriend. Who really cares? His sexuality is more famous then his diving.

Do you think when he is on the board waiting to dive he is in fact actually cruising?

 

[Nick]

I don't know, I just don't know why there's such a big meal made of things. Do we have to hear about Nick skeltons wife over and over again?

Its the same with the women's hockey as two of the GB team are married. They keep going on about it, but nobody gives a shit these days do they ? But if my parents were alive they'd probably say " dirty bleeders ! "

Didn't know that!

That's the thing, I think it's good that nobody cares and it's just taken as "ok, and". Don't know why there's such a meal made of it.

This generation is polar opposite to my late parents generation in attitudes to things like that. My dad would be disgusted and my mum would say they must be weird !

To be honest being openly gay is not that common in sport though is it? Off thr top of my head i can only think of Justin Fashanu, Hiltzlesperger, Gareth Thomas and Tom Daley as openly gay sport men

Wow! I didn't know any of that.

Are they themselves aware they are gay, or are they waiting for someone to tell them?

I guess mainstream, but I think the Olympics compared to football would be a lot more.

Just don't see why he, and the media and everybody else make a meal out of it.

Doesn't make a difference on his diving ability, it's just as if we should feel sorry for him for coming last more or something.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit younger I just see somebody say they are gay and just carry on as if they had said they are straight.

I saw that mentioned in some article and I wondered why they were mentioning it as I assumed several of the squad must be married. I did not realize they were talking about married to each other. I'm from another age when men married women and women married men.

Yep and gay people were still gay people, but just kept it quiet.

Brazil v Germany is going to penalties. Wouldn't like to be a Brazilian who misses with this crowd!

Watching now!

Have team gb had a team in?

 

[Nick]

Neymar needs to score

 

[chiefdave]

Nope, we only had a team for London.

Couldn't write the script better. Neymar to win it?

 

[Nick]

Wonder why we didn't put one in.

 

[chiefdave]

He's never happy, cried at the World Cup, crying now cos they've won!

I thought the place was macarena then

The theory is that if we start doing that for the Olympics FIFA and UEFA will insist on us doing the same in other competitions so the Welsh, Scottish and NI associations won't allow their players to play as they know a combined national team would basically be English.

I think most peoples initial reaction would be to keep the individual national sides but we never look like winning anything so would a GB team be a better option?

You're only saying that so we can have Gareth Bale in our line-up.

Is Tom Daley actually any good at diving he is better than me and probably Peter Kay in the John Smiths advert, the press wouldn't be so interested if he was straight.

Personally I don't really care if people are gay or straight it's their choice
