The BBC commentators both sound slightly bemused by the whole thing. It is a mental event really, especially the refuelling station.

Brazilian swimmer just taken away in a wheelchair, looked a big distressed when she eft the water.
Final lap, about a mile to go.
Payne in 5th.
Payne in 5th.
Ristov for Hungary has broken away by a several metres now.
That would have been heartbreaking for Ristov had she not held on there, challenged well at the end with that sprint finish from Anderson.
Bad luck Kerri-Anne.
Bad luck Kerri-Anne.
Tom Daley's walking a tightrope here, cant' afford any mistakes in his last dive.
He's through to the semi's from 15th. Will have to step it up if he wants any sort of medal (which is silver or bronze, Qiu Bo is too good).
Tom Daley puts himself right back in contention after being allowed a re-dive.
Daley in provisional bronze with two dives t go.
It's going to go down to the very last dive by the looks of it.
This is going to be some finish... come on Tom!
He just needs a perfect dive that's all. Piece of cake. 
Would love Tom to get something after all the upset and hassle he has had. Seems like a nice lad.
Couldn't be closer. What a finale
wow that German diver got 91 pts with an injured shoulder.
Dont thin its enough for Tom for Gold.
Daley nailed it. Bronze minimum.
Loves himself too much though.
So he's down to Silver.
It wasn't. He's done well though.
No gold for Daley
Daley finally got a medal.
I've never really understood the hype around Daley. He seems like a really good diver but the talent he has doesn't seem to match the hype around him.
I had to turn it off, those speedos are fecking disgusting!
Bronze for Daley
His last dive wasn't hard enough.
"Tom Daley celebrates like only Tom Daley can"
God, British commentary is naff.
God, British commentary is naff.
Bit ott for a bronze.
Qiu Bo distraught. Gulags for him when he gets home.
Good medal for someone under so much pressure.
I don't follow diving closely but he has been world champion i his time and at a young age, that will count for a lot.
Because he's good looking and British.
I mean, Britain has how many gold now? Yet the commentary are wanking over this more than most other sports.
Back in 2009, yet no one expected him to get Gold here but there was a lot of build up around Daley which I don't really get. There seems to be a lot more pressure placed upon him when none of the experts expect him to win.
Considering just how high the standard was in that final, it's a massive achievement. I don't understand the complexities of judging those dives but what i've seen makes it look unbelievably hard.
Edit: BBC also says that's "Britain's first individual Olympic medal in diving since 1960".
Well, there's not a whole lot left for GB, the boxing and modern pentathlon tomorrow before the closing ceremony.
Have you got a problem with the British or something?
I think we should be proud of every medal we got. Tom did a great job.
He's spot on. We've won 28 gold medals and should hopefully win another tomorrow in the boxing. Yet the ***ping continues over Daley and it's probably because he's very photogenic. He's the Beckham of the Olympics.
Luke Campbell won us another gold in Boxing yet it was almost brushed under the carpet for the Tom Daley train.
