We got a Gold and Bronze in horse dancing. lol

Pomp and Circumstance... And The Great Escape. Brilliant.

Womens boxing on now. This is gonna be good.

16-7. Dominated! First ever womens boxing Gold goes to GB.

Jade Jones into the final for Taekwondo(?). Best ever British performance in the competition.

hmm, for this Olympics along :

1. Gymnastics reduced number of participants from 6 to 5 in teams competition, which is a huge blow to teams that rely more on individual talents rather than overall abilities, namely China, their women won gold last time but only finished 4th this time.

2. Badmintion introduced preliminary stage, which means there is no guarantee who you will face in the elimination stage, countries that are good enough to have 2 teams capable of competing for medals will have high likelyhood of facing each other before semi finals, effectively reducing their chance of winning medals by half, hence some players tired to throw their last game just to avoid face their teammates right away.

3. Diving: Difficulty score has been increased for some moves, for countries that use to emphasis on executions over difficulties (again China) this is a big setback, and again, they've lost men's 3m board gold medal for the first time since 1992.

4. Taekwondo: score for head shots has increased by 1 point, I'm not sure if this would affect any particular country, but it will have a huge effect on athletes' style, it will definitely beneift athletes who prefer attack over precision and speed.

Shooting and fencing also changed their rules, but I'm not into those so can't comment on that.

Table Tennis changed it rule 3 times since 2008 (removing double match and introducing team match, reducing single's players from 3 per country to 2, change the order of competition), all aimed to give China handicaps, so far not as effective as gymnastics and diving.

The latest in our ongoing series of exclusive Iwata Asks interviews sees Nintendo’s head honcho chatting with Olympic champion Chris Hoy shortly after winning his famous sixth gold medal for Team GB

IWATA: Today I am joined by Chris Hoy, an Olympic cyclist for Team GB.

HOY: It’s nice to be here, Mr Iwata, though I’m not really sure why I am. I don’t get much chance to play games during my hectic training schedule, you see.

IWATA: You don’t often find time for other forms of entertainment because your day is taken up with a lot of cycling practice.

HOY: That’s more or less what I just said, yes.

IWATA: I see. That is perfectly understandable. After all, I don’t often find time for cycling practice because my day is taken up with a lot of being Nintendo president! [Laughs]

HOY: [Smiles]

IWATA: [Laughs]

HOY: [Laughs]

IWATA: Enough. You have recently won your sixth gold medal for Great Britain in the Olympics. At the moment Japan only has four gold medals. Does this mean you are better than the whole of Japan?

HOY: Actually, those six golds were built up over the course of my career. Only two of those medals were won at London 2012. So I suppose you could say I’m half as good as the whole of Japan! [Laughs]

IWATA: We would crush you.

HOY: Sorry?

IWATA: I would like to talk about your cycling technique. We released a game in 1984 called Excitebike, in which the competitors rode motorbikes. It was fun. Can you relate to our fun game?

HOY: Well, I don’t ride a motorbike, I have to use my legs to power it.

IWATA: And then a year later we released a game called Mach Rider, in which a man rides a motorbike with a machine gun attached to it. Is this something Team GB has secretly attached to your bikes so you can win all these races so easily?

HOY: Ha! No, our medals are won through a lot of hard work and determination. I don’t think the IOC would allow us to attach machine guns to our bicycles. [Laughs]

IWATA: I wonder if there will ever be a time where it could become a reality. Perhaps I could ask Miyamoto-san to pay the IOC a visit and ask them to allow us this for Rio 2016.

HOY: Maybe then you’d actually beat Team GB in a race! [Laughs]

IWATA: Or maybe then your silly magic bikes will be crushed under the might of Eastern athleticism.

HOY: [Stares]

IWATA: Finally, I am curious to know if you use bikes instead of karts in Mario Kart Wii because of your profession.

HOY: I’ve never played it.

NINTENDO REP: We end now.

IWATA: [Fumes]

Also, time for our girls to have revenge against the Japanese! Let's go girls!

I like the Iwata asks. Nice find!
The sailing was delayed today BTW.

There we go! Don't back down! Let's go let's go!

Carli Lloyd is playing brilliantly!

(We're very lucky when it comes to calls in the box...)

Bolt is unstoppable.
