watching the canooing, rivetting stuff

Now I am watching the shooting and it looks like GB are going to get another medal more then likely a gold.

Right I have to get off this chair and do a bit of exercise, these olympics are bad for my health.

Really amazing scenes, made all the better by a shot of a crying frenchman :P

Another really exciting event that I would never in the past have paid any sort of attention to that I ended up really emotionally involved with. Love that about the olympics!

Sir Chris Hoy coming up. Here comes some more gold!

Chagan

Good luck Hannah Craig

Mars Bar

The women's Archery literally went down to the last arrow. Sudden death! Closest to the centre wins. Both archers were hitting 9's but Ki hit 8 for the sudden death. Gave Roman the chance to take it but she couldn't and hit an 8 but it was further out.

C'mon Hannah Craig!

Having a sneaky look at the livefeed website.

The cycling meant to start at 3 but livefeed not started yet

Check that you have local time selected on the guide (if that's what your going by).

Colmustard

I would love to have a go on that canoeing course, I am not talking about going through the gates just getting to the end would suffice.

I would probably be upside down for half of it and drowned but it would be worth it.

Tough Luck Hanna Craig.
