FINALLY!
A Gold medal for Helen Glover & Heather Stanning in the coxless pairs!

HUZZAH !!

It may reflect badly on me as a human being but I found the kerfuffle involving Chinese, Korean and Indonesian badminton players to be hugely amusing.

And, despite my advancing years,  I'm adolescent enough to find the whole idea of a women's coxless pair to be mildly snigger worthy.

Just heard they've ALL been chucked out!

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

World Badminton Federation intervened.
Good on them!

Let's hope the decision is upheld.

Hear, hear, Nik. Man of the games so far for me has been Emanuele Guidi of San Marino in the men's individual archery. He was a wild card entry, streets behind all the other competitors, and arrived on the butts grinning and waving to the crowd - obviously enjoying the whole thing. He got slaughtered by his opponent and departed, still beaming and waving, to great applause. It's what it's all about IMHI.

Well, I'm in the stadium now, it's amazing! Will post pictures later!

Lucky beggar! The stadium looks fantastic on TV. We tried to get tickets for the white-water events, which were held just a couple of miles down the road from us, but not a hope!
