    The point being that if the Welsh lads want "Land of My Fathers" then any Scots would have wanted "Flower of Scotland".

    If players dont want to sing then thats upto them. imo.

    Roger Federer WINS 19-17 in the final set and by 2-1 sets in the end and waits for the winner of Murray and Djokovic in the Final.

    GB 4th in the medals table now and just One Gold from being 3rd as things stand.

    Cycling's governing body, the UCI, has confirmed that Russian track cyclist Victoria Baranova has tested positive for a prohibited substance and been sent home from the Games.

    Dani King, Laura Trott and Jo Rowsell set a new world record of three minutes and 15.669 seconds in qualifying for the women's team persuit. Well done girls! We make it look simple

    Yes he did but in the Seoul Olympics Dave only threw 69m and didn't make it to the final. Alex's mum and dad coach hammer (though not their son) and have encouraged him all the time, his brother throws as well to a really high standard but has opted not to pursue it to the level Alex has.

    Great Britain smash Australia to take gold in the men's team pursuit in a new world record time of three minutes and 51.659 seconds. It just keeps getting better and better

    I get the feeling we might see an Aussie fightback against Pendleton...

    It's definitely going to be very close in this Keirin, I reckon Pendleton will win but will definitely not be as easy as the other events have been.

    Another great gold, wasn't expecting the main challenge to be from China though.

    Andy Murray through to the final 7-5, 7-5 hopefully he will be able to turn the Wimbledon result around.

    Got to say, not a fan of the version they're playing for the medal ceremonies. It sounds wrong.

    Not as wrong as the Kazakh anthem keeps sounding when they win medals on the athletics circuit.
