Why can't we just live in harmony :'(?

Also watched the men's breaststroke swimming and a Scottish lad (Michael Jamieson) came in second. I was pretty much ****ing my pants.

Some medals. I know it's a rarity for us to even win a consolation Bronze here and there but 2 world records, 3 golds and 3 silvers just today is not a bad return for our little island and a couple of golds yesterday too.

Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins know how to ride a bike!

Watched Roger Federer win over John Isner in tennis this afternoon.

Can't wait to see Djokovic play Murray in the semi-finals. Sort of hoping Murray will win because he has the home advantage, but I get the feeling that he won't.

Murray will get beaten almost certainly

Well done to team GB in both the men's and women's football, considering the men's team have only played together 4 times they are doing OK and women's football here seems to be going from strength to strength.

Kudos to Michael Phelps too, what an athlete!

i literally just watched the the track team sprint and Britain crushed that race

did anybody catch the crazy Japanese boxing match?

where the ref would not count the guy down even though the Japanese boxer knocked him down 5 times during the round and then lost....it was over turned and i guess the ref was eliminated from the games

found it on youtube

Michael Phelps. What a guy. His success in swimming has been simply outstanding.

I think you're right. He just can't seem to crack the top 3 on the ATP tour either - always at No. 4.

My boyfriend is a serb like Djokovic so I will have to root for Murray in private
