The GB woman's archery team lost out to France from a Bronze medal earlier. Lost out by 1 point :(

Cooke won a well deserved Gold :D.

Lets see how Tom Daley and his partner dive today in the 3m synchro. The Water Cube is sold out, apparently it's sold out as people come from far and wide to watch 14 year old Tom dive. :S

Gold & Bronze in the Womens 400 Freestyle, the first in 40 odd years. :D. Was such a great final to watch especially seeing as Rebecca Adlington was 3/4 in the last 10 metres. Well Done to those 2!


^ Im so fed up with this hype about him, so over rated now that its boring. Hes going to burn out and peak before 2012 and I don't think they will win a medal either.

BigSister 11-08-2008 09:47 AM

I am so pleased with the 2 swimming medals i just watched the race on bbc website the ending was just brill Rebecca wasnt even in the mix with 50 to go!
Weve equaled Athens in the pool anyway in just 1 race ^_^

Well Done Team GB!! Winning 2 medels, well done Rebecca! And according to Sue Barker of the BBC, she said "That was not Rebecca's best race, the best is still to come!"

Well.. Tom Has Dived.. with his partner Blake Aldridge. They missed out on a medal, coming 8Th out of 8 pairs. He could of been Britain's youngest olympics medalist. Young Tom said "We obviously didn't dive very well. It was very disappointing but it was a great experience"

Spike 11-08-2008 02:37 PM

I had a feeling she would get the gold

BigSister 11-08-2008 10:41 PM

BigSister 12-08-2008 11:09 AM

BigSister 12-08-2008 11:17 AM

Tasha_x 12-08-2008 11:18 AM

Did anyone watch the sychronised diving yesturday? Great Britain came last
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...ng/7552526.stm

Spike 12-08-2008 12:02 PM

I thought Great Britain would of done better in the diving. They were as good as all the other countrys in the air but it was the land into the water which really let them down.

Marc 12-08-2008 12:59 PM

That badminton match was epic!! aaaah, I was so nervous! SO HAPPY that they won!

Loukas 12-08-2008 01:19 PM

OMG!!! GBR are PURE CLASS in badminton mixed doubles!

Emms and Robinson came back from losing the set, 17 - 12, coming back to win in 17 -19. Then making it 19 - 21!!

Winning it and winning a place in the quarter final! Knocking out number 2 seed China!! :cheer2:

GO GBR!!!

BigSister 12-08-2008 02:02 PM

Gemmer-x 12-08-2008 02:40 PM

Badminton was amazing! :]

BigSister 12-08-2008 02:47 PM

bronze in the equestrian ^_^

Spike 12-08-2008 07:50 PM

Phelps is doing well for USA, 3 golds so far
I think he will get the 8 golds, I just can't see where the competition will come from.

Marc 12-08-2008 08:01 PM

Sam! 12-08-2008 08:04 PM
