3 golds in 3 consecutive events. First Jessica Ennis, followed by Greg Rutherford in the long jump & topped off with Mo Farah's 10k. Fantastic night
-
Yes Liz Team GB have done well tonight.
-
Stunning performances in the athletics, cycling and rowing events and 6 Gold medals in total today - absolutely brilliant ;D
-
Done well all day really, rowing team excelled themselves also, super Saturday!!
-
Yeah, absolutely brilliant and 2 guaranteed silvers in the tennis. 6 of our 7 boxers still in so chances there too :D
-
A truly amazing day for British sport !! (and it 'aint over yet !!); Inspirational role models, let's hope all the youngsters watching these outstanding performances spend less time queueing for X Factor auditions and more time looking for local sports clubs to attend !!, which will hopefully "carry the Flame" into the future ;) :)

What a fantastic response by team GB to all those people that were knocking the olympics and like Tony said we aint done yet!
-
Sensational ;D.
Ennis, Farah and Rutherford will make the headlines but for me the performance of the day was the three girls in the Women Team Track Pursuit.
A Gold medal and broke the World Record on six consequective ocassions.

We have the Olympics showing inside the restaurant in the evenings and I have been very impressed at the interest and knowledge that many young people have shown about the sports and competitors - we have had quite a crowd on occasions cheering on Team GB.
The BBC World News have also profiled projects from around the UK and I suppose unless you are active in your community or personally involved you wouldn't know it is going on but there is some amazing work taking place with young people.

Yes what a great day for GB ... amazing I have been gripped by the whole of the events :)well done TEAM GB

Agreed H, I think track & field traditionally hold the accolade as the "golden events", but for me what the cyclists are doing is truly amazing !, (also the rowing), but it's also nice to see the skill, commitment and courage shown in all the other events, whatever they may be, sailing, shooting, equestrian, tennis, judo etc. etc., these Games seem to be bringing the best out of everyone and it's good to see the Nation smile again :).
Also another good thing is the development in the depth of the overall structure of the sports, as the Olympians themselves are the pinnacle of the pyramid, supported beneath by a foundation of managers, sports scientists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists, etc., so it's a big "team effort" and they should be acknowledged also. :)
