Blue - Cav Cav Cav... we just didn't give him a chance. Gutted for the guy, the tactics were not got right and that's more galling somehow than missing on ability alone. Horrible to see drug-monkey Vinokourov take gold. Don't like to see Cavendish criticising other teams (like Australia) for their tactics though. The Brits should not have put themselves in a position where they needed to rely on outside help.
Black - Great day for our gymnasts. Louis Smith tweets: -
On the way back from the competition, 3 apparatus finals, team final and 2 all-round finals.. so proud to be a part of this team http://twitter.com/LouisSmith1989Britain's men were only out-qualified by super powers Russia and the USA. Huge achievement.
Red - I have to give a massive thumbs up to the guys who are already looking like the unseen MVPs of the games, the massive corps of volunteers. From Wimbledon station to the AELTC, 20 minutes up the road, I don't think I was ever more than a hundred metres away from a patient and invariably cheery guide to make sure I didn't lose the way. Once at the club, packs of volunteer ballboys and girls could be seen swarming around the club from court to court. Every one a massive credit to London and the games. Thanks guys!
Gold - Tomorrow the British women get a chance to succeed where their male counterparts failed. Can defending champion Nicole Cook and co marshal their resources to deliver her successor as team leader Lizzie Armitstead to gold? We also get our first sights of Ben Ainslie, the US basketball team and Rebecca Adlington will try to cling on to the 400m crown she won so narrowly four years ago.
Green - Look ma, I'm on the computer! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19033887 (5 minutes in)
