It put Muhammad in an impossiblt position as well. Just shoddy all round.



Disaster for GB at the BMX track, largely thanks to our bandwagon-jumping, spam-faced Prime Minister doing his Jonah act again. Reade got a poor start and was never in contention in the women's final. Phillips got away well and was in third before being muscled out of it and falling hard.

bolt is the man. The guys just taken it to a whole new level.

Loved his antics before and after the race. Mouthing ''im GONNA WIN'' to the camera beforehand. The guy brings the sport to a mass audience, i think he's been fantastic for the sport.

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.

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.
