As much as I celebrated Ennis's victory it doesn't compare to 3 weeks TdF followed by 2 road races only a week later. Though it will be refreshing to have female sports people in the mix.

Bradford Grammar boys in the triathlon today.

Yes. Excited about those two. High hopes for a gold and silver today. It will move Yorkshire up the medal table.

Same here. It's really helped with my post-Tour blues. La Vuelta should help with my post-Olympic blues. Then I'm on my own.

After the Tour I said they'd never give it to two cyclists on the bounce, especially in an Olympic year. Not so sure now though. After what's happened to cycling in this country over the last couple of years it doesn't seem like such an unlikely shout now.

Infantile macho posturing from some of the male sprinters starting to get on my wick.

Outstanding by the Brownlees today. Especially Alistair. What a run that was.

Fantastic result for the Brownlee lads!

Anyone know why they went to Bradford Boys Grammar School instead of Leeds which is miles nearer to their home.

Because it is superior.

Great Olympics.



Great competitors.



Great venues.



Great crowds.



Great result.



Great Britain.

Some great stuff in the closing ceremony, but how you can have a celebration of British culture & not include anything by the Rolling Stones is a mystery. Arguably the greatest rock and roll band of all time.
