Yep! Me, too.

Murray did make his disappointment obvious in his post-match interview. Laura was all chuffed and smiley just for getting the chance to play in the finals with Murray, but he was back to his miserable self. He seemed truly gutted. I don't blame him, as the opportunity for double Gold slipped away from him just like that. However, Laura is only an 18 yr. old kid, bless her. Let's feel great about the fact that as a team, they got to the finals. Well done to both.

Just caught the ceremony for last night's Men's 10000m race. What a down to earth man Mohamed farah is- with such an innocent smile! It was so nice to see his family rushing to the tracks to congratulate him. Something very endearing about this lovely man.

Bolt was unbelievable!! Eased off about 30m from the line and strolled over the line in 9.87 seconds. Could be a new record on the line tonight.

Awesome display in the men's 400 heats - name swapping with Pistorious, such a nice touch.

No 100m hurdles for Jess.

Good decision - would be a real letdown if she didn't do well. The gloss would sort of be taken off last night's epic win.

Yep, with him jogging the semi and getting that time he is capable of a 9.5 I just hope he doesn't back off for once and goes flat out the full distance. All the talk of him being beaten is just mind games and he is 100% and not 95% fit. I believe he is going to storm it tonight and I can't wait.

'Bolt and Blake' - cool as ****! As an aside, what's that big, one-eyed, golden ***** that makes an appearance from time to time?

Awesome race by Bolt btw, given he was out of it at fifty metres or so. Team GB a lofty third in the medals table, what a fantastic achievement. I have to profess I was one of the sceptics about the whole Olympics event prior to the opening ceremony. I am truly a convert, an absolutely awesome spectacle from the openining ceremony onwards. The stories, the drama, the sheer guts and determination! Now I am seeing heros and celebrities on the screen (yah boo sucks to the X factor and TOWIE wannabies). It's not often Yorkshiremen eat humble pie but in this instance I'll eat a mighty big piece happily!

Been awesome so far, I told myself I wouldn't be watching any of it but everytime I turn the TV on I seem to go straight to the Olympic channels. I'd never actually watched a full tennis match until yesterday!! And the Bolt race was epic!

Go Team GB
