...and I think you can add sailing to that.

And hopefully Paula Radcliffe!

OK I would be amazed if Usain Bolt doesn't win the 100m. He basically sprinted 40m, jogged the rest and still beat everyone by a mile in the best heat.

i know, it's rediculous... we've had some fast runners in recent years but i think Usain Bolt is about to do for sprinting what Michael Johnson did for 400m... he looks a completely different class

Rebecca Adlington wins the gold medal in the 800m free style beating the oldest world record in the books by over two seconds. Great stuff the first of a golden day for Great Britain today I hope.

Hmmm, Ben Ainslie's certain gold was scuppered when the wind dropped to the strength of a mosquito's fart and now the race has to be re-run.

 

[Perth Bambi]

Has anyone noticed that all of our swimmers are absolutely minging?

 

[The General]

Bronze for the womans duo in the 2000 meters!

Berke in the bronze medal race for the cycling and im guessing Wiggins is in the gold medal race!
