Just won Bronze

And wasn't going to get drawn in to talking about the background either.

Well done to him anyway

yes i will have to see the doctor re my problem of premature posting.

Still strange rules in Tae kwan do, that you an lose and then go back into the competition for bronze but those fighters who have done better than you but lose in the next rounds cannot.

Go Flo-MO

Pleased for him. Stuck in an unpleasant situation not of his making and has conducted himself impeccably throughout. Glad he got a medal as that might calm things down now.

Brilliant performance by the canoist this morning and our own Luke Campbell has got a nice shiney gong round his neck.

How p1ssed off was Mo's missus.

Apparently Team GB has won more Golds in 2012 than in 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996 combined.

2 more boxing chances tomorrow and the womens pentathlon has a decent shout too - gold tally could top 30 which would be unbelievable

Loved every minute of these olympics, some unbelievable performances from TeamGB.

These success of these games has exceded even the most optamistic predictions. I went to a couple of events and the organisation was superb, from the free transport to the venues, the voulenteers who were every where, the security was massive all itmes including bags, wallets, phones cameras etc..were checked and searched before entering the venue but the police and army were respectiful of their guests unlike at other events were you are virtually treated as sheep. To top it all, a record breaking performance form the British Athelets who have had their most successful games for over 100 years. A fantastic once in a lifetime experience.

378 Kenyan's achieved the Olympic 'A' Standard in the Marathon Qualification

Does GB even have 3?

So Lord Coe has been put in charge of sport with regard to the post Olympics legacy.
That is a damn good call IMHO as is a confirmation that the lottery funding will stay at current levels right up until Rio 2016 which is 2 more years than previously promised.

I am/was worried that the momentum leading up too and including London 2012 would be lost just as it was for the Aussies after Sydney which would be a travasty.
My opinion is that having more kids in sport help with the nations health long term, helps with giving them an aim instead of getting into trouble.
Plus more bodies taking part leads to a better chance of you finding a champion and watching winners helps with the nations morale.
