Andrew Cotter and Paula Radcliffe moaning on air about British Atheltics leaving out Phil Norman.

3rd? I could see us finishing behind  but who else did you have finishing ahead of GB?

Ah scratch that, just checked and actually I had us 2nd in my final predictions behind the Germans. Had upgraded us from 3rd in my very early predictions a few months ago.

Hockey out - very disappointing time for both teams. Onwards to LA we hope.

Like Finucane, Carlin seems to be in decent form here, at least from that early evidence.

And second!  It’ll take a crash for the Dutch not to take gold though.

That was an awesome lap three.

Nothing we've seen in the last couple of seasons would have suggested that kind of result from the GB men was likely - they've been battling for 4th and 5th for most of the qualifying period.

 

I had them down as the weak link in the squad and wasn't expecting them to come back with any medals across the 3 sprint events, but clearly the team are in good form, and it definitely looks like GB Cycling have done the business again with the new bike design.

1-1 in the hockey hope @G-ann went wild

Went absolutely feral. 
 

Best they’ve played all tournament and a better outcome than I was expecting. I’ll take the joy of having the Dutch at 1-1 for a lot of a quarter and watching my team score a goal at the Olympics!!!

Ok, come on Girls, don’t let us down!
