Second silver medal for Mexico in diving
Which is as good as Gold when you're diving against the Chinese. :laugh:

I must say, I didn't expect the Mexicans to dive so well. (not that I think they dive badly, I had just never seen them dive before) Did they medal in diving in Beijing? I don't remember.

With Ainslie, the Hulk-esque speech would have been alright and quite amusing, if he hadn't have lost to the very person he was angry at. I need to learn to read, it seems that Ben's mean and green-ness did get him victory after all.

And another two golds for GB, both in the Velodrome! We're now in third place!  *oh2*

I was watching Ennis more, although the cycling I watched the most.

Gold gobbles by Team GB in Men's four.  :sweet:

EDIT: Plus another gold in the Women's Lightweight Double Skulls. I have hopes for the lovely Jessica Ennis (And Katarina JT! :wub:) later on as well.

I hate to double post, but this situation really requires it.

A massive cheer and applause (Plus a little :pir_kiss:) for Jess Ennis after her outstanding performance accross the heptathalon events, especially the running events which ran her to Olympic gold. I think that her and her awesome collegue Katarina Johnson-Thompson may just about be the best Heptathletes OF ALL TIME.  :sweet:

Greg Rutherford was rather good in the Long Jump, winning gold. I admire his concentration, trying to finish one's jump while Miss Ennis is running a victory lap behind you is no mean feat.


EDIT: Mo Farah wins gold in the 10 000 metre final! What a performance, he hung on throughout the 25 laps and ran forward to clinch victory in the end!

The States won most of their medels thanks to Phelps. I think it's somewhat unfair that a person invovled in just one kind of sport can win so many medals. Sure there are different styles of swimming, but it is still, to a certain extent, all swimming. :sceptic:
Won in Sandy's Mafia School: "A Bedtime Story", as Alladin: Scum (Role Cop)
Lost in Masked Builder's "Jedi Temple" Mafia Game, as Obi-Wan Kenobi: Town (Vanilla)

Won in TinyPiesRUs' "Ragnarok Now" Mafia Game, as Patrekr the Red: Town (Paranoid Axe Owner)
Killed by the Vigilante in Bob's "The Pearl" Mafia Game as Timothy: Town (Vanilla)
Lynched on Day 3 in Def's "Eurobricks II" Mafia Game as Li'l Palathadric: Town (Vanilla)

It could be argued Cycling is just cycling.

But I'm British, so I live cycling. :wub:

Britain had their most golds in one day ever today.
