    Doing the weightlifting, don't know how some of them don't let the weights drop onto their heads or fall back.

    Really hope Annalise picks up a medal! She's done so well so far but I know there's still a long way to go!

    Yeah I hope she can hold her nerve. Apparently there's four races plus the 'medal' race to go.

    I mean who are you saying criticised her, I've seen several people voice their suspicion, the most blatant one was the US official.

    Also, did she pass a drugs test?

    i don't listen to the US media much.
    she has never failed a drugs test.

    Wouldn't we do the same if we were in that situation? Fair play to Britain for staying positive after a few disappointments.

    i think they have to stay positive.
    i mean as the host nation what would you expect them to do?
    fold up and go home? besides it's very early days. the games have only started.

    Were they always referred to as Team GB or is this a new thing?

    They'd have government minders with them at all times. I remember their footballers in the 2010 world cup were kept on a very short lease.

    So, they won't discover the joys of women and booze, then? Shame

    ....but wasn't it considered a bit of an outside chance he'd win anything?

    People lose money on anyone and everyone. If they didn't there'd be no bookies.

    Just watching the fencing. It really is a tense game and seems to generate a fair bit of controversy for some reason. The crowd seem kind of obnoxious too (not in a darts kind of way) but they seem to have their favourites.

    Bronze medal match is on now with gold medal game later.

    Why are the swimmers wearing headphones when they walk on? Surely they have lockers
