    Anyone notice that the New Zealand cyclist was called Jack Bauer? Wonder what his shirt number was, 24 maybe?

    Great swim by Jamieson, amazing to get a silver at 23. Specially being only 0.4 of the World Record.

    I really thought he'd come 4th after being so hyped, but it took a WR to beat him. Terrific result.

    Yep, he's certainly done himself proud. As did the British lads in the gymnastics. Thomas was probably one mistake away from a medal, but still both of them are the best performance by a British gymnast in the All around (the blue riband event) since 1908 I think. Lets hope for some more golds tomorrow. I don't care where we finish in the table (4th would be nice) as long as we finish above the French to stop Hollande from being so cocky. Beating the Aussies would be nice as well, but that might be too low a target :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Thomas looks huge for a gymnast, yet he has a great flair to him. Hopefully he keeps developing and he can get more medals in Rio.

    We're doing well in the pool tonight too :)

    Talking of Volleyball, I wasn't as keen for it as I was for beach volleyball as the rallies seemed to be so much shorter, but that last rally just shows I was wrong!

    C2 and Double trap shooting. And a silver in the C2! And a guaranteed silver in judo! And we've still got cycling to come!

    Team GB and well and truly up and running now!
