[Nessy]

Meh..looks like it just me then!

Watching it, but had it on pause for quite a while.

 

[Furinkazen]

A certain Alex Zanardi, ex CART, and WTCC driver is apparently in for Italy.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Thanks for letting me know.

Channel 4. Commentary fail:

Alex Zanardi Formula former 1 driver has got the gold in the hand cycling around Brands Hatch..

 

[Tom.]

There was quite a large fail on the BBC News this morning when the so called sports reporter thought that 'CART' meant that Zanardi had his near fatal accident whilst karting.

I had to double-take to see what was wrong with that sentence...

But yes, he has: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/disability-sport/19493510

Sorry Team GB, don't give a toss who you did - full congrats to Zanardi in this one. Missed his first gold but intend to watch the others if they're on TV.

Not ashamed to admit it, when I watch Zanardi's WTCC win at Oscherlaben I'm struggling to hold back man tears..

I know he's not necessarily had to overcome a great deal more than many of the paralympic athletes... but I am really really pleased for him

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Really enjoyed the last 12 days! its been brilliant!!!👍

Cant believe that after tonight thats it for the Olympic park!

Still looking forward to the closing ceremoney..Coldplay, Jay-z and Rihanna..sounds more like Glastonbury!!!

 

[Moglet]

Steampunk closing ceremony! AWESOME I'm a huge fan of Coldplay too so this is right up my street.

 

[SilverArrow]

How long until Hey Jude?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Loved Coldplay!!! just incredible! jesus ive got to see them live!!

 

[ExigeEvan]

Urgh, I couldn't think of anything worse than a Coldplay and Rhianna concert. It was painful just to watch.

Copy that, my girlfriend had it on so I chilled in the bedroom for the night. Nice seeing coverage of the parade, etc.
