Wins in the horses and cycling. 18 golds.
Require 1 more gold and 7 more medals overall to equal Beijing 2008! Still got 6 days left.
Go on cuties Laura and Victoria tomoz. You can - and WILL! - do it!

Team GB not as succesful on the track today but still another great day of drama. Felix Sanchez weeping away on the winner's podium. A superman on the track but very much human off it.

Trott (sooo cute) - gold.
I didn't expect that, going into that last Omnion event.
Hoy ("The Real McHoy") - gold.
Amazing 'engine'.
Pendleton (cute and hot) - silver.
Fair play to Meares (what a fantastic ****!
); she had the wood over her in this final.
Bit harsh to relegate Queen Vic in the 1st heat (seeing as Meares lent on her) - prob. all but impossible not to leave the sprint lane under that scenario.
Emotional stuff.

Anyone see the Aussie reporter on BBC News this morning?
Basically implying that the reason the Aussies have done so bad, and the Brits and Chinese so good, is because most of the Aussie coaches are now coaching the Brits and Chinese.
Nice to be gracious in defeat, eh?
