I'm having difficulty seeing anything other than Zara Dampney to be honest. What's the score?

It's not my knee that's damp

Was anyone watching the Rowing this morning?

Matt Pinsent was explaining a few things about the boats, telling us that they can be split into 2 pieces for Transport, how the Yanks send theirs over in shipping containers and explaining that almost all the boats were Yellow as that's the standard factory colour....he then handed back to John Inverdale who was with Steve Redgrave...

Inverdale, with the enthusiasm of a 5 year old (minus raised hand) then piped up..."i have a question. Why are all the boats yellow?"

The look of sheer disbelief on Redgrave's face was hilarious

got a great chance 2moro mornin for gold with watkins and grainger in the rowing, grainger shud hopefully finally get gold after all those silvers! fingers crossed for becky 2moro nite in the pool, and the team pursuit cycling looking gud going into 2moro nite, and also pendletons back in the womens keirin. Im not asking for much but we hav 4 great chances at least 2moro for gold in those sports! i wud be happy with 3!

USA giving Nigeria a Basketball lesson. The Yanks won't be so cocky tomorrow when they realise all their bank accounts have been emptied

best interview today has to be ben ainslie after 2 of his rivals said that he touched a marker, so he did a penalty turn and then said to the bbc after the race that they made him angry and they wont like it when hes angry go ben!

my fav moment was gemma gibbons winning her semi final, bursting into tears and looking up to the sky and saying "love you mum" as her mum died of cancer a few years ago. having lost my mum in similar circumstances just over 2 months ago, i know how she feels

also a very nice comment from mark cavendish when he said his baby daughter is the best medal he's ever won
