    The rowing looks pure gruel, I think I would be worth about 10 strokes and then my heart would explode. I would imagine every part of them would hurt during a rowing race. Respect.

    You wouldn't be the only one, ask Sally Robbins. She suffered a breakdown during the 8s final in Athens 8 years ago and was absolutely castigated for it back home.

    What is amazing is how that does not happen more often, 8, 6, or 4 rowers surely mathematically someone at sometime will have either an injury or a bad day.

    I was flicking through the headlines Bradley Wiggins celebrated his incredible month by getting p1ssed last night with friends and family. That somehow makes him human in my mind.

    Murray coasts through to semis in tennis. Guaranteed a shot at a medal.

    Lol the basketball commentator is indeed brilliant makes it far more exciting. Don't get people's dislike for him! Rather him than a insightful but very boring guy tbh

    Anyone watching the Badminton? Mixed doubles was very tight the whole way through but China just pipped Denmark.

    The chanting in the crowd is annoying though. It's badminton, not football.

    You have chanting in volleyball, basketball, badminton, table tennis - fans who are passionate get to chant.

    It's badminton, not snooker.

    Anyone else watch the 3D highlights, the 3D is more interesting then practicable, it works for some shots but it distorts distances and flattens out people that are in the distance, kind of southparks them.

    I don't think the technology is right yet but obviously getting there. I only bought the system as it was the best tele on the market when my last tele broke. But I don't recommend the 3D. (Samsung series 8).
