Worse still if they lose the semi, he has to play the bronze match tomorrow- hope that would be after the Federer match. Apparently the men's final reverts to five sets for some reason

We played like crap against Lithuania, but in the end, we have Lebron James and they didn't.
Marty Pocius was impressive. I know that guy! Four years ago we were watching the Lithuania bronze medal game together now he's in the Olympics. FML.

Such an an entertaining doubles match.
Funny to see Songa hit as hard as he can at both the Bryan brothers at the net.

I don't understand this cycling at all. Why are they cycling so slowly for the first couple of laps?
And why when they're doing it in a team does the cyclist at the back go way out wide on the track sometimes?
It's not the cyclist at the back, it's the one at the front, and he's going there to let someone else lead the team and take the spot of number 3, as the lead cyclist always works a little harder.
And why are none of them cycling Raleigh Activators? They're the king of all bikes.
tie-break! Can't imagine Murray wants a third set.
Tie-break has been great so far. Germany were 3-0 down, came back to lead 6-3 and now it is 6-6.
No 3rd set just a first to 10 tie break or if tied at 9-9 usual win by 2 points then. This could be nervous watching coming up.
Race Walk, watching it now, it is a strange race
Murray and Robson win!
Fantastic serving right at the end from Robson, well chuffed for them.
Murray guaranteed at least 2 silvers, awesome.

Got no idea how Murray is going to manage tomorrow.
Is the singles final still 3 sets? If it is I'm sure he'll be alright fitness wise.
no, the final is 5 sets.
Federer might struggle as well considering he had the longest ever Olympic match yesterday.
Well done Murray and Robson! Team GB's got a great chance to do something historic in the Tennis. Just hope Murray in particular has the stamina for it.
Has Federer been in the doubles though? Can't believe Murray entered all three- although admittedly he lost first round with his bro'
Federer was in the mixed doubles, I'm pretty sure of that.
He was in the mens doubles with Wawrinka too. They were defending champions.
Ah OK. Last question- which is first tomorrow- the singles or doubles?
Turns out Federer wasn't in the mixed... whoops.
So we are now on 25 medals and got 48 in Beijing. Do people think we are on target to match or beat that? Can't see us getting too many in athletics and the rowing is obviously done now.
Not exactly sure why the women's pursuit had a race off for fifth or sixth
Another gold for gb women's pursuit. Another WR.
6 world records in a row for the British girls, damn.
Feck, six world records in a row!
EDIT: Xander too quick off the draw!

un-fecking-believable!! amazing from Team GB cyclists there!!
pissed all over the USA!! brilliant!!

Another two laps and they would have overtaken them!Very very impressive. They are absolutely dominant.
I saw a graph on the BBC website earlier that showed we're well ahead of what we'd won at the same stage of competition at Beijing. So we should, in theory beat it. I can't seem to find the graph now though.
As we speak, another Gold!
Another few in the bag with Murray and Ennis too!
This is a bit old but shows the predictions. Odd Goldman Sachs and PwC get involved...

The games are being received very well abroad and the British team are representing well. The media (I have seen) over here have nothing but compliments for the way the games are being run.
Where are you based?
Tampa, Florida.
Sir Paul McCartney and missus at cycling, obviously the hot ticket. Playing Hey Jude over P.A. and Sir Paul singing along.
Oh Please feck off, Macca.
The more I watch fencing the more ridiculous it looks to me...
