Heptathlon 800m final event was a complete catastrophe! It looks like the IOC couldn't organise a p***-up in a brewery!

Disqualify the wrong person, protest lodged, disqualify "maybe" the right person, protest lodged and after an hour, they still can't decide! WTF!

And I get funny reactions for my girlfriend, because I don't defend "my land's people" when they make such a balls-up!

So many gold medals and yet still not one of them can believe it.

In the interview I'd be like: I can believe this because I'm a direct eye witness of the race, and I really can't think of better evidence.

What makes you think the IOC officials were British?

Complete catastrophe?

They made a mistake and it was corrected and Schwarzkopf won the silver as she thought. Given that there are 2 tall blonde runners both wearing the same colours I can see how the mistake was made.

I don't really see how that is a complete catastrophe?

Plus we put on 32 different sports at several different venues in several different cities for millions of people over three weeks and one event seeing a request for adjudication (which happens three times a day in cricket and tennis) means 'we can't organise a p*** up in a brewery'? Overreact much?

Murray vs Federer about to start. Centre court roof is open.

Ben Ainslie wins gold in Finn class sailing. That restores our 5 gold lead over South Korea who won 50m pistol gold this morning.

Murray is 5-2 up in the first set against Federer.

Murray up two sets on Federer, 6-2 6-1!

Murray wins!! 6-0 6-1 6-1 6-4! Finished with an ace as well!

One was in light blue, the other in black and red and they had big, visible numbers on their backs in the video replay, very difficult to confuse them!

But it was the fact that it took over an hour for them to sort it out.

If you're checking if they've run out of a lane, you're looking at their feet, not their backs.


so quick would have been better than right then?

Lightning fast 100m race!

I couldn't believe it though that someone threw a bottle onto the track just after "set" had been called!

Why would you do something like that?!

...and Bolt's gold pushes Australia further down the table.


They are having a shocking time at these games.

If you took swimming out of the Olympics we'd be beating USA for medals.

Lol!

The athlete who tripped in the women's 400m was called Stambelova
