Being a tour guide this weekend, I'm missing all the action

Don't have time to look it all up as too busy

Some sports happened. Some people won. Some people lost. Didn't see it myself but I 'heard'.

That's some haul

Lovely news.

*hides flag behind back*





















how many were won by Welsh or Scottish?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy stormed to track cycling victories, with Ross Edgar earning silver, and bronze medals going to Steven Burke and Chris Newton.

Good day on the track then

Rebecca Adlington began the day with a stunning swim to win the women's 800m freestyle in world record time.

Another one?

The men's rowing coxless four surged to gold, while Britain also claimed bronze in the men's and women's double sculls.

Managed to see the last minute of that

Good day on the track then

every member of the British team has got a medal apparently.

Also there is a cycling final tomorrow between two British women so another couple of medals due.

Excellent.

So has anyone failed to win medals who were expected to?

oh, I saw one race but only got a glimpse of it. I think it was a Jamaican guy winning (and I'm only judging by the colour of his kit), but he won by a good distance

Chris Hoy is Scottish.
The Welsh have had theirs already
Northern Ireland gets their tomorrow with Wendy H in the cycling - two Team GB-ers in the women's pursuit final.

that would be Mr Lightning Bolt breaking the world record running it in 9.67 seconds and practically walking over the finish line

and Phelps got another Gold but it was contested by the Silver Medalist as they both finished at the same time but Phelps finished with greater force

Tom James won a gold in the men's four, think you will find that Ross Edgar is Scottish!

The sailing was cancelled due to lack of wind so 2 medals not yet won.

Were the rowers in pedalos?

 

[alsoknownas]

Kelly Sotherton

Also a few of the judo bods. And of course boxer Frankie Gavin who was eliminated on the eve of the games.

 

[badlands]

Sue Barker farted.

What a great idea.
Give something for Rebecca Romero to turn her attention too after she's bored us on the track. Ex-rower turned cyclist - pedalos are perfect for her.
