Can Mo Farrah and that Rutherford fella live to to this?

not sure exactly what I was trying to say there but -

yes, yes they can!

Sensational stuff, now to start the petition to hold the games in London every four years

It would bring a tear to a glass eye, amazing scenes, well done Mo!

Fantastic run, thought he went off to soon but there you go, amazing how the African runners seemed to fade off towards the end.

9 of the last 12 British medals have been gold (according to BBC site anyway).

Still though, deinately one to watch for the future...and every bit as likeable as Jessica Ennis.

A supreme talent. Potentially better than Ennis. Time will tell. One thing on her side is that she's tall, about 6'. She's the world junior long jump champion, too.

How many gold showers , I mean medals does he have???

Well done Farah. He's some man for one man. He also bet The Cube for charity!

An amazing night. Beats the atmosphere of opening ceremony.

I expected the "But Phelps got his revenge in the 200 metres event" line to be followed by something like "as he pissed in the pool too" :pac:

Jesus Wept

It's pointless if you don't blast it.

Notorioux

Its unreal how dumb he is.

Colmustard

Now the womens 100 metres.

This will be very fast.

I thinking there's an irish person in the race because of the flag with the same colours. And then I realise it's Ivory Coast.

I thought it may have been a dyslexic Irish person.

It's amazing Flo Jo's record has stood for so long.

That has been happening to me, we should lodge a complaint.

Bahahaha that only heightens him in my estimation! What an impossible game show

The women's 100m was closer than I expected. Not surprised Fraser one it though, she was awesome in her semi-final earlier.

Sea Filly

Did the Irish commentator say "Nigeria 1 and 3" just after the race finished?

I wouldnt support or cheer England in any team event(football,rugby etc) but i have a great deal of respect and admiration for all these athletes,cyclists who put their bodies through hell to achieve their goals.

tonight is all about GB and the medals they have won.

ps i fecking missed the womens 100m sprint because i was rewatching the last lap of the 10,000metres

Colmustard

Ahh Jess come here and I will comfort you. she really has model looks and she seems so down to Earth.

Pottler

Beautiful run from Farah, pure class. Pryce stormed it in the womens 100m, my money was on Jeter or Madison but Pryce just rocked it. Actually feeling proud to be a Londoner - great Olympics so far, fantastic to watch.

They should change their colours or even just one of the colours. It's just the same really. I never noticed that having the green side on the left with the orange on the right was the actual irish flag. I didn't think it made a difference.

I was just looking back at 10,000 metre mens stats. Farah and the American are the first winners of any medal by non Africans since 1988 and the American is the only white man.
