i think allyson felix is the most beautiful and elegant runner i have ever seen,obviously she has been around a while now but good to see its not all about raw power but grace and style too,i don't want all female athletes having to man up

Wow... I need to get caught up!

You must be including this Olympics in the past tense since Australia finished fourth at the 2004 games , still although guys  beat us fair and square ,  it comes across like you have never been in our present position in the past ,  also to the victors go the crowing rights and the losers keep quiet  , Still what do you think has contributed to your impressive rise of the last 8 or so years  , I used to think that post WW2 immigration from the Caribbean and other Commonwealth nations being  the background for a lot of  your best sportsmen especially in Athletics was where your strength came from , but obviously that is no longer the case if it ever was.

To be fair we had already won three medals in boxing, we just don't know what colour they'll be yet. We have a woman in a final today who will probably win and two men in semis who'll probably lose. Also, the guy that won the bronze yesterday is a drugs-cheat.

I recommend everyone watch my future wife Keri Anne Payne who is favourite to win gold in the women's long distance swim at noon today. I stumbled across this event at around 4 am during the Beijing Olympics. 10km of outdoor swimming, lasts around 2 hours. Loads of cheating, violence and disqualifications. Brilliant.

i'm not sure our carribean men win much at the athletics in the olympics to be fair,its mainly down to rowers and cyclists

Dang it, South Africa out before Oscar gets a go. Good for Team GB though, Belgium down to fastest losers, with the brothers there that is good for Britain's medal prospects.

EDIT: Now Jamaica are out too, I do love the unpredictability of relay.

My first look at BMX racing. Pure carnage. Those guys and gals are mad.

Ouch on the Brazil BMX driver!
