Brit men’s footballers lost to South Korea, though.

They’re out.

So at the closing ceremony, are they going to celebrate the British Rural Electrification Program?

The 10,000 Meter race was electrifying.

Just watched the men’s four in rowing (on DVR). Wow, what a race, GB took the lead early and never gave it up, excellent gold. GB, Australia, USA, 1-2-3.

Proud of our men getting the bronze, and not terribly far back from challenging for the silver.

There is a lot to be said for having a home ground advantage.

Well I’ll be cheering for Andy Murray to win gold in the men’s singles tomorrow. I’d like to see him take gold in the mixed doubles also but I’m not sure his partner is a strong enough player. Let’s hope she proves me wrong.

And of course, Charlotte DuJardin on Valegro, for Great Britain, scored an unheard-of 83.663, a very nearly perfect performance in freestyle dressage. Twelve 10’s! The UK has reason to be proud of her. Someday we will do that well.
