    I was just going to pop up another medal table, but I won't until I know it's going to last more than 5 minutes. :)

    Simon Brotherton [off-hand to producer]: Oh what.? What are we doing.? Women's Sprint.? Yeah OK.!

    Now back to his professional self. He's been a really good Cycling commentator.

    You can't officially count Mills and Clark in the 470 until after the last race tomorrow don't forget! This is now our most successful Games outside Britain, we overtook the Beijing tally today, with 5 days left. Still possible to beat London!

    I would estimate there's been at least a dozen posters on here resisting jokes on his surname. :)

    No, I know that. I'll do a little caveat when I put up the latest table. Just need Laugher's Silver to be counted.

    Looks like the only person standing in the way of Laura Trott becoming Britain's greatest Olympian in future games will be her husband! That will be an interesting conversation! :rolleyes:

    Think that is usually Phil Ligget.

    Brotherton has taken over from the renowned cycle commentator and World Champion racer Hugh Porter.

    We mullered cycling....should have just handed us the medals and saved themselves running the tournament. Most people will be hearing our anthem in their sleep. :)
