    Fantastic, Ben Ainslie!

    Or surely in the near future, Sir Ben Ainslie!

    Womens vault final on soon. Wonder how high that US girl can go this time.

    Yet another "way off their personal best" story for an Irish athlete. Fair play to Jennings for completing it but why put herself through it when she is carrying an injury?

    I really hate to be negative but it's becoming a bit of a joke at this stage.

    Raining in Centre and East London this morning. Wonder what odds the Tennis Final will be finished under the roof.

    I agree. It's a bit strange that at least half our athletes are claiming to be either carrying injuries or having "gastro" problems.

    Murray wants it more so he'll probably win this. If it was a Slam I've no doubt that Fed would win.

    I was getting pissed that they weren't showing it. Talking heads going on about show jumping. Argh. No internet for me for half an hour.
    Anyway, go Murray!

    Is it the winner of the fight thats on at the minute between the Brit and the American (Jonas & Underwood) that Taylor fights? Are we leaving out spoilers for those unfortunate to have to watch the Olympics on RTE?

    Are they carrying injuries/sick or are they bottling it and making up excuses?

    Just seems strange that so many Irish athletes are getting ill or injured....

    Yes it is. RTE in their ultimate wisdom are not showing it until 3.30. Already have the Tennis Final on one stream, wouldn't like to see my internet bill if I opened another.

    Thankfully this evening and all day tomorrow I will have BBC and the Red Button.

    More that likely some of them have choked on the big occasion and are using illness as an excuse. I won't mention any names though. :)

    Looking very good for him now.

    Get this match over quickly to save some energy for the next one straight afterwards in the doubles.

    No I meant his mixed doubles final? He's in two finals today. Surely it isn't on straight after his match with Fed.

    worried by the fact the judges gave the british fighter an 8 point victory over underwood in a fight that most pundits said was even and too close to call

    katie may well have to overcome the hometown judging bias to beat jonas, a tough task


    murray just won a key game in the second set after multiple deuces, well on his way to going two sets up

    Not sure if they have had the mens doubles yet, they hopefully have that scheduled next before Murray is on again.
