We just missed the roar for that montage, bit of a cock up.
Wonderful to see all the camaraderie amongst the athletes regardless of nationality.
I think they do get on. A lot better than sprinters.
Thinking it might actually just be good strategy from Ennis to take the lead and simply ride on the cheering of the crowd.
Come on Jess.
They spend a lot of time together.
Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!
Get the feck in!!!!!!!
Get the feck in!!!!!!!
Listen to that crowd. Brilliant. Gold for Jessica.
YES!
Jessica Ennis! World Champion!!
Jessica Ennis! World Champion!!
that was outstanding run
Take a bow lass. Take a bow.
Wow, what a run from Ennis. Brilliant.
A truly gold medal performance, fantastic.
The noise in there sounded scary.

doing well in the Long Jump, looks like we could get another gold there
feck me, just smashed the long jump too
I cant believe how nervous I was watching that! 
Rutherford still leading the Long Jump. 8.31m stretched his lead
What a couple of minutes, Ennis's run and then that jump from Rutherford!
Jess is just fecking wonderful. What I would do to be able to marry her.
Look at the long jump. 8m 31
She has a lot of bottle coming through given all the hype and weight of expectation. Go Jess.
This. I absolutely fecking love her
That smile is not going to leave her face.
god, I'm getting a bit emotional. Sport, eh? fecking magic.
Come on Greg Rutherford. Win this long jump.
This is turning into an amazing night. Actually feel emotional watching all this.
I think the Olympics are pure emotion. All the effort and it can end in gold or on the first dayl.
she smashed that by over 300 points
That's a hell of a winning margin!
Wow! That is conclusive.
was not bothered about them before it started, but watching them is fantastic
Yeah me too- really surprised how into it I have gotten.
That is a truly wonderful sight, in more ways than one, of all the heptathletes doing a lap of honour.
I actually feel proud watching it. When someone wins you want to cry with them. When someone loses you want to cry for them. You feel you know them even when you have never heard of some before.
That was a brilliant moment. Now come on the long jump bloke!
Go Mo!
Hope this spurs Mo on.
I dont care what anyone says, London has put on one hell of a show!
Now come on Mo, would love him to get Gold. Seems like such a nice guy.
