    There's a lad running the 400m from SA on bbc with two prosthetic legs.

    I am not sure if that is fair, now perhaps it is OK but this tech will get better and perhaps give them an unfair advantage.

    MJ said the same when he qualified for the semi, the crowd will accept him on condition he doesn't win, if he does then people will start to cry foul

    They are very specific legs that he is allowed to use and lots of arguing about them has been done before they let him take part in the World Championships last year. They do make SA run in the outside lane and put him on the first leg for the 4x400m relays if they use him.

    Great spirit shown by Nevin. We need to do better as a country in the Olympics, but John Joe thoroughly deserving of a medal in these games. He's worked hard for it.

    Wow, didn't expect him to outscore the Mexican by 3 in the last round, especially after having to take the count.

    Happy days we're finally on the medal table :D

    Brilliant fight. He was clever when he got hit with the body shot, took his count so he couldnt get hit again.

    Think the other lad threw a lot, but didn't get many clean shots in.
