^this was freaking awesome

also that Chinese kid not only won the 1500m freestyle but abolished the world record....

Phelps last race was as always quite impressive

but i have to say for me the best stuff tonight happened in the velodrome....and female team pursuit...man was it fun to watch

i only got to see the last four races but each one was incredible.....while qualifying against Canada to race in the gold medal race against the USA...Britain created a new world record

Canada took the bronze by literally by a hair against Australia

and this was crazy.....Britain during the gold medal race against the USA breaks their own world record and damn near laps the USA squad

The velodrome really does have some wonderful action - it gives you an idea of just how much training you have to do to make the difference of seconds. First time I ever went to the Manchester velodrome, I think my time to do one lap was 23 seconds. My all time best is 19.6 seconds after two years of training.
Victoria Pendleton manages it in about 16 seconds, but the amount of training to shave off those fractions of a second which make the difference of a world record are phenomenal.

My dad just informed me of Andy Murray getting the gold. So ****ing happy that he proved me wrong in the Olympics of all competitions. I don't think I'd have been as happy if I'd actually placed my bet for him to get beat in the final ha.

Yeah that's pretty amazing! I honestly didn't think he could take on Federer but I was wrong. And he's a Scot just like you

Only the best then

haha.

I'm not much into tennis but I usually follow what's happening to see how he does. He's an excellent player but he just always seems to lose at the last moment, so I honestly didn't have much hope for him. He's proved me wrong today though, which is always good
