One ocean away from Old Trafford.
Have to work so I can't catch the final of the cycling today, that makes me sad. Netherlands leading 2-1 in Hockey now, Argentina seems pretty good, but the Netherlands is a pretty good Hockey nation as far as I know.

Bit of fencing and judo for me for the time being, so bloody tough to keep up with everything.

Annoyed they haven't put the fencing on TV/Red Button, had to go to the BBC website to watch it. No commentary and a random guy just came on "test, 123, test..." before singing 'Hello' without releasing we could hear him :lol:

America wins the first gold in the womens 10m air rifle
It's an incredibly boring spectator sport but the result was actually pretty dramatic so it made for decent viewing. She had no expectations of even being at the tournament in the first place, and was up against a really strong pair from China, but she looked completely unfazed throughout the entire final round and never really gave them a chance to get back in it.

Wow. A rugby 7 match last only for 14 mins and Canada just battered the Japanese chicks 45-0!

Now I know why the games are so short.

Went for a long walk while the wife had a nap, had three pints in two different pubs and just got back. Still 77.4km to go!

It's a bit dejecting when you cycle 200km and know your not going to win (having to do a job for others)

Why do people feel compelled to run alongside the riders and throw things at them?

That's awful. Nibali was winning it for sure.
