Nice touch when Steve Redgrave congratulated Chris Hoy - 2 real sporting heroes.

+1

And it looked like they kept Steve hidden judging by the surprise on Chris's face.

I knew my british passport would come in handy for something - I can officially support Team GB.

And I think GB learnt yesterday what most kiwis have known for decades, the Aussies are cheating bastards.

Damn - missed it. That's the downside of going to the Olympics - you miss all the action in the other disciplines.
That, and having to get up so fecking early!

Did atheletics yesterday morning, and footie in the evening. By half time, the crowd had perfected the advanced Mexican wave - going in two directions round the stadium at once, crossing over at the ends. Two full laps. Excellent stuff. (Footie was boring though). More atheltics today.

No, I was worried that Sir Chris had gone too early and didn't have the legs to take him. In retrospect this was completely silly.

I don't think I've ever jumped around in front of the telly quite as much as I did when the German got his nose in front down the back straight.

It's a very exciting sport track cycling. Esp the Keirin, it's massive in Japan, they bet billions on it.

Watching Sir Chris Hoy with tears in his eyes as he collected his 6th olympic gold medal is just overwhelming. Truly awesome achievement by all Team GB. Full stop.
