"There is a truth to sport, a purity, a drama, an intensity. A spirit that makes it irresistable to take part in, and irresistable to watch. In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life.

And one day we will tell our children, and our grandchildren, than when our time came we did it right."
- Seb Coe, opening the 2012 games

Here Come The Girls

It's ladies' day for Team GB. At the rowing regatta Kat Grainger bids to snap a streak of three successive silver medals at 12.10. Rebecca Adlington goes into the 800m swimming final a red, white and probably blue-hot favourite tonight. In between there's Victoria Pendleton in the women's Keirin at the velodrome, and the British women's football team play Canada for a place in the semi finals.

At the track, Christine Ohurugou starts the defence of her 400m title. But it's world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis who will carry the hopes of a nation. She will compete in the first four of the seven events at the stadium this morning and evening. And I'm on my way there now! Can't quite believe it. Good luck to all the Brit girls today!
