So I have been watching this morning and Great Britain is 3rd in the medal table!! 
That's amazing for such a small country as us - we usually just miss out on the medals!
I am stunned!!

23rd in the marathon for Paula Radcliffe though, dissapointing. She's been plagued with injuries.

We have dominated the cycling - why is that I wonder? 
Maybe British cyclists are used to polluted cities?

And there is still plenty of time for us to overtake you.

Seriously, congratulations.

I've been pretty stoked on US coverage, because they have been doing some coverage of Olympians beyond the US. I saw one on a British cyclist, and one on the Jamaican world record holder and gold medalist for the 100m dash. |
