No problems with transport, airport like security was quick and competition was really good. Handball and diving to look forward too this wednesday
Definitely enjoying watching from home too and flicking between the main coverage and the 24 extra channels on sky

I thought it was a hell of a drop in points for the japanese when they announced the initial results. Looked fair enough for them to get the points back for that dismount. Pity for the Brits to drop a medal place but even the bronze is a monumental performance from the team.

If i was part of that equestrian team i'd be properly pissed off that bloody zara phillips is getting all the bloody coverage for their performance so far. She's not even the leading GB rider, never mind overall leader. You'd think she was doing it all on her own. Must be disheartening for the Brits that are above her in the standings.

Its still all about her today dispite the fact Mary King and others did beTter which actually pisses me off quite a bit . Im sure she only made it to the team because Piggy French's horse was injured . Anyhoo chance for more medals as lying 3rd and 4th in the individual with the showjumping to come
SO SO PROUD!

I don't know what the deal is because they are usually power houses in these sports. The men's beach team got beat in two straight games by the freakin Polish! The POLISH for heaven's sake! Since when can Poles play volley ball?
I watched the US women's water polo match against the Hungarians this afternoon. That is one hell of a grueling sport!

Apart from being disappointed with the start the Brits have made I have been quite disappointed with the US. Phelps particularly has been a huge anti-climax. He just lost the 200m breast stroke gold because he thought he was home and got pipped by the South African. I know he's an amazing olympian and wil probably break the record for all-time medal winners, he just seems to have lost his mojo.
I believe US football team is about to play North Korea. That will be interesting!

Crazy night in the women's badminton last night. Pleased to see they were all disqualified today for not trying. Hope they don't get reinstated on appeal.

I knew it was the butterfly but for some reason I typed breast stroke. A freudian slip probably, thinking about stroking breasts whilst typing.
