Katie will get us a gold

1 gold isn't bad when you consider the population of Ireland is half the size of the population of London

All the more reason that they didn't train there then since all the Chinese would have hogged the place

With four medals in boxing now guaranteed, and a silver for Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell in the 470 class at worst still to come, Great Britain are now certain to win at least 48 Olympic medals.

That will surpass the tally from Beijing 2008 and reach UK Sport's minimum target.

Absolutely fantastic.

I think we could get at least 2 gold in the Boxing, definitely some silver at least.

Didn't know about the 470, that is incredible.

It's all shaped up nicely, I wasn't expecting this.

4 GOLD MEDALS TODAY.

Should really have been a 5th, but somebody other than GB had to do well in the cycling I suppose.

Could we have another shock medal this evening in the high jump? Maybe a bronze, we can hope so.

So proud <3.

I think today and the rest of the week we'll slow down now.

Skeleton has a potential medal in the show-jumping but that might be it today.
