Well done Becky James. Another Welsh medalist. Silver in the Kieren. 
If she was half a yard nearer at the back she would have won. Cracking ride by her anyway.Well done Becky James. Another Welsh medalist. Silver in the Kieren.
Not sure if it's down to the fact the last Olympics was on his home soil but was anyone else a bit suprised by Mo Farrah's reaction upon winning that epic race earlier? He almost seemed confused at the end, perhaps the toll of such a remarkable victory. Watched an interview with him shortly after (admitedly not with UK TV) and he seemed distracted and anything but happy, just seemed a bit weird to me.
I'm thinking once he won , his mindset of the drug rumours would expand and he's very nervous about his possible ties to it would be more under a microscope .
Overall , Great Britain is having a very good Olympics .
Talk about jumping to conclusions. 
I don't think he's nervous about his 'drug ties' and I'm not sure what is meant by his 'mind would expand' because as far as I'm aware nothing has been proved against Salazar - and there have been ample opportunities to do so. Nothing but rumours with no substance, at least so far. Anyone can start a rumour about anyone.
His interview seemed perfectly normal to me for someone who has run 120 miles a week for months and spent long periods away from his family. He was understandably emotional - at least in the BBC interview I saw, though Kwame is probably referring to a different one.
Well done to Ennis on her silver but Thiam deserved it - can't argue with 4 pb's.

You what? He's already dealt with these allegations. He has NEVER failed a drugs test.
I'm sorry but this is utter bollocks Roof.
Anyone watch the long jump final? What a tense, enthralling finish that was!
I didn't think Rutherford would medal and imo he was fortunate to get the Bronze. A very tough competition that.
Lucky that the Yank committed the cardinal sin of letting his trailing hand touch the sand ....
