If there was an event called running with the hare and hunting with the hounds, you'd be champion.

Fear not, Victoria and Rebecca will redress the balance with a couple more golds before the day's done.

...And gold for the cutie, Pendleton.

That puts us in 'our' coveted 3rd! (By dint of 4 more silvers than S Korea).

Adlington still to come...

Bronze.

Amazing pace from the 15yo American! Fair play.

Disappointing for Beckie. Although she has a great attitude.

Oh my.

Just witnessed Jessica Ennis' perfect glutes wobbling at 1000fps!

Need to lie down.

Yeah shame for Beckie, she seems quite likeable, more so than certain athletes.

Yes! Amazing form the Muzza!

Fed. won his match 19-17 in the 3rd! The longest 3 setter (in 3rd set games terms) in history.

...A 'Wimbledon final replay'.
