Destruction.

KINGS OF THE VELODROME!

Dancey dancey.

Well Gabby Douglas, get ready for the celebrity lifestyle. You're an American legend now.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

They did say that they purposefully made the track VERY fast (must be the wood and varnish or something) so top quality team + good track = world records. Excellent.

Purple Haze

[Katsuya]

Murray & Robson are on serve, 5-6 in the second set having won the first set. Looks like they're going to a tiebreak.

[Adam]

Two points from victory...

MATCH POINT.

It's gone, 1-1 in sets now as we go to the deciding match tiebreak. First to ten.

Murray doesn't seem to like doubles...

[Adam]

We came through in the end despite Robson's struggle to deal with the nerves closing out a match, not for the first time.

Murray vs Djokovic tomorrow will be one to watch, be great if he could make the final.

Do we have any medal hopes in the pool tonight? I know Fran Halsall is competing but is it in a final or a semi?

[Katsuya]

Robson is shocking with her serve.

Stosur & Hewitt will destroy them. I sort of want them to win the Doubles, if only because I want Lleyton to win *something*.

[Lineker]

A 20th gold for Phelps at last.

[Lineker]

...and Fran Halsall could only manage 6th in an incredibly tight women's 100m free final, which was won by Holland's Ranomi Kromowidjojo.

[Sam]

Was she ever a favourite? I think we've done well in the swimming, ok we haven't won any races but we've had a lot of finalists.

[Lineker]

She should have got a medal of some sort, many are saying.

[Berober]

GB just pushed Spain to the limit in the Basketball, losing 79-78 in the end.

[Sam]

Great match but they make so many stupid errors, that match could have been won.

[Liam]

Just wondering how many points USA might end up getting in this game against Nigeria. 49-25 at the end of the first quarter.

[deli]

My Nigerian family are going nuts in the room. I'm just cringing. Nigeria are awful

Booing Suarez isn't stupid.

Booing during a national anthem is stupid and disrespectful. And "but they only booed when Suarez was on screen" isn't an excuse. There's a full ninety minutes to do that afterwards.

I don't inherently disagree, but have you actually seen it? I didn't but nobody has brought it up as an issue really so maybe go watch it and then judge?

I tried doing a search on YouTube but it offered up nothing but the GB national anthem. And I've seen people bringing it up as an issue outside of EWB but nothing here really. Ah, well, life moves on.
