It's just a sculpture that people can interact with, it's called the "beatbox" supposedly it does a light show during the night but I saw it during the day so I dunno.

Yes Tom Daley! Deserved his medal, glad he saved that performance for then. Didn't work out for the divers who stormed through the preliminaries.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but Anthony Ogogo getting a bronze yesterday was a sham in my opinion. He shouldn't have laid hands on a medal after meeting with the Ukranian, Levgen Khytrov.

Also, the womens taekwondo looked absolutely ridiculous. I was watching a match yesterday and it's hard to appreciate the skill level involved in the sport, it just looks like they hop on the spot, kicking sporadically until something lands, occasionally knocking someone over or hitting below the belt. Not entertaining at all.


Let me guess, you loved the women's boxing?

A bias because of an Irish winner or womens taekwondo vs womens boxing? I'm not sure what your angle is.

As for the womens boxing I don't think it was as entertaining as the mens. Certainly more impressive than the taekwondo though.
