Medals

[Graz]

We got another silver in the Sailing earlier too, although I can't remember the guys names now! They should've had gold though apparently... led all week, then let it slip away in the last 100m.

Murray in the men's singles final now against Federer... looking good too!

Murray in the men's singles final now against Federer... looking good too!

He's just won 10 games in a row. Has anyone ever done that against Federer before?

 

[Motown Fox]

Murray is going to get Gold at this rate.
Murray is 2 sets to nil up and Federer looking like he wasn't bothered or that hes hiding an injury.

 

[Graz]

Federer tried to come back a bit in the third set, but Murray's just broken serve to go 3-2 ahead... he's just got to hold serve now! Surely it's there?

I thought it would be hard for Murray to get two golds today.... was thinking it would be a long, tough match against Federer and was worried it would tire him out for the next match. Making pretty light work of Federer so far though! (which I did not expect to be saying!)

Gold to Murray

 

[Graz]

He's done it! 6-2 6-1 6-4

First gold of the day for Andy Murray... can he follow it up with a second? I reckon he will.

Murray does a Pat Cash and climbs up through the crowd to hug his girlfriend and his family and friends

Whisker away from Gold in the Men's Pommel Horse but we got Silver & Bronze for Smith & Whitlock.

All this time people didn't know the second verse of the national anthem... turns out it's Heroes by David Bowie. Who knew?

Well they've just won the first set....

I thought that awful Muse (was it Muse?) song was supposed to be the official anthem?

 

[Graz]

Well they've just won the first set....

Then lost the second. Big change in momentum. Can't see us doing it now.

Usain Bolt sets a new Olympic record.

Feel sorry for Asafa Powell. Pulled up injured. Everyone else finished under 10 seconds.

Gold for GB in the showjumping.

Gold for Jason Kenny in the cycling sprint.

 

[Graz]

If our cycling team was a separate country in the Olympics, they'd have enough gold medals to be in the top 10 of the overall medal table. Impressive!

Laura Trott looking strong in the Omnium too. She's awesome. I'll say it again; she's going to be the new big name after the Olympics.

No she won't, she'll go back to obscurity because outside of this Olympics nobody gives a damn about her or her minority pastime.

Really?

Gold for Alistair Brownlee in the Triathlon. Bronze for his brother Jon.

Jonny had to serve a 15 second penalty as well (literally had to stop in the run and wait for 15 seconds), so to claim bronze after that is brilliant. He only finished about 17 seconds off silver I think, so he might be a bit disappointed!
