Try and get a live stream on the internet.

It's now 16 games all in the final set and the longest ever singles match in Olympic history, at just over 4 hours so far.
 
The American women Team Pursuit riders look like they're wearing santa hats.
 
Another WR in the cycling for team GB!!
 
They do look very good don't they.

Well considering that we are setting these world records in qualifing, then yes we are doing very well indeed!!!
 
Let's go Jerome!

We've got Princes William and Harry in our studio having an interview with our tv presenter!! beat that!!
 
Another World Record and a Gold in the mens team pursuit. :bowdown:
 
FUUUUUU! Jerome missed the final by like HALF A METER. Damn it.
 
Rogers and Dalhausser lost. Seeing as I remember them looking middle aged back in Athens, I suppose it had to come at some point.
 
I know that theres a lot of exciting action in the velodrome, in the stadium and in the pool..but dont forget Murray v Djokovic on BBC3 now!! theres going to be some serious channel-hopping tonight!!
 
Pendalton gets the Gold and GB will be 3rd in the medal table now.
 
That amazing!! we were 23rd in the medal table just two days ago!!!
 
Heptathletes: it takes 7 inferior performances to break even.

These GB girls are super weak though. Cannot compete with Lithuanian length in the shot. :lol:

Go Missy!! :)

Broke the world record by almost an entire second, amazing.. 3 golds for Franklin.

Girl named "Victoria Poon" swimming later, I'm glad she's not American because that's not a proper word around here :lol:.
 
Hoping the British Women footballers beat Canada today, to set up a semi-final berth against the USA. We play Canada a LOT (men as well)... Come on GB.

Any lovelies on the squad? Looks like a couple possibly...
 
Phelps just can't lose that race. First man to win the same event at 3 Olympics, he did it twice.
 
Magnificent goal from Canada... What a strike! That's a goal in any game on earth, against any keeper who ever lived. On the half-volley even.


Wow. British crowd stunned and relatively silent now.
 
Bronze for Beccy Adlington!
 
What a swim by Ledecky.
 
Ledecky! Amazing swim from such a young athlete, I thought she had the world record for awhile as well.
 
I find it funny that all the medals New Zealand's gotten involved us sitting down :p.

Has anyone else noticed this on Google? Seriously awesome.

And Australia still only has 1 gold.....still a way to go though.
 
Most of the medals that GB have won involve sitting down..cycling, rowing, canoeing...
 
Murray up on Djokovic. 7-5 4-3
 
Seeing Missy on the medal stand just doesn't get old, she just looks like she's having so much fun with it and that it means so much to her! Also a wonderful show of sportsmanship. Proud to be an American :).

Let's see if Anthony Ervin or Cullen Jones can sweep the finals for USA tonight in the 50m free.

Jones for the silver, good swim :).

That Mens team pursuit was a good result for the Commonwealth. :lol: Shame for Adlington, but that American lass was incredible. And as they've just switched to Athletics, I'd like to mention Jess Ennis. :drool:
 
Jess Ennis has been mentioned today..she is gorgous!!!:drool:
 
Give me her and Vicky Pendleton any day...:drool:
