    Bronze for Walkden in the Taekwondo, which means the medal total for London has been equaled.

    That's the problem. There doesn't need to be proof for it to be right. The judge is right at all times it seems as any appeal doesn't have the material to win that appeal.

    Cho lost his Bronze medal match.

    Even though I'm certain he got a kick in right at the death.

    The South African 1500M runner is a strange one. I understand the problem but what do you do? She cannot run as a man but she isn't totally anatomically a women either.

    She either quits, take drugs (The double standards there is mind blowing) or has surgery that stops her being how she was the day she was born.
    It's a mess no matter what they do.

    GOLD MEDAL ALERT

    Mo has got the Gold in the 5k.

    Which means we will overtake our medal haul from 2012, making this our greatest Olympics.

    We're the first nation ever to improve on a home Olympics.

    We're also the first ever nation to improve for 5 Olympics in a row.

    The olympics should be 3 weeks long.
    If they can drag these ****ing Borefest Euros out for a month surely the Omlypics can be longer

    They used to take place over months, but I assume that was more to do with travel taking much longer.

    Not necessarily.

    For some reason the British public really love Murray.


    I'd give it to Trott, Kenny or Farah personally.

    The 3 800m fe'male' athletes all look like men. I know Semenya is a bloke - but the other 2 look like men as well.

    Ridiculous.

    We've got Bronze in the Women's 4x400m Relay.

    Get in ladies - we've broken the 2012 tally with a day to spare.

    These officials seem to be DQing anything they feel like without no real evidence.

    Three were kicked out of the 5000m.
