Bloody get in! First gold from Glover and Stanning in the rowing. They were amazing. Led all the way by a country mile.

Our men's pair just smashed it in the whoring semi-final

It was supposed to say rowing. :oops:

Our men's pair just smashed it in the woring semi-final then. Great performance from them and another medal hope.

The ticketing system has always been a complete joke though. It's something that the IOC need to sort out and isn't really the fault of Great Britain.

Although we shouldbe doing more to solve the issue...

Some of the times on the BBC website are wrong. They have now put these times up for the rowing on Twitter:

Rowing finals (GB chances): Women's pair (1150 BST), women's quadruple sculls (1210), men's eight (1230)

Three gold should be withing reach today. At least one in the rowing, one in the cycling and one in the swimming. All are possible.

Rowing finals at 10:10, 10:20 and 10:30. Time trial finals at 12:30 and 14:15. Men's Kayak final at 15:15. Then football tonight.

Hopefully we'll pick up a few medals today. Possibly even our first gold, which would be very nice...

Wow, USA just killed everyone in that 4x200 relay. 19th medal for Phelps too. Absolutely amazing...

That medal ceremony for Chad was great and his dad is an absolute legend.

Willis has just followed Jamieson into the final by coming second in his heat. It looks like at least one medal will be on the cards in the 200m breaststroke final.

Lovely swim from Jamieson in the semi's. Came first and was very impressive in doing so.

Phelps just messed up that race in a big way. Quite shocking actually...

I've come down with a cold so am taking the next three days off work. It's a lovely coincidence. I feel like absolute crap, yet I'll be able to watch the Olympics...

Right I am off to the gym. All this watching sport has inspired me to actually go and play.

It's odd that you should say that. It's inspired me to start going to the gym again and I feel great.

Look out 2016, here I come!

15 years old to be exact. Impressive to say the least.

What a race from that young Lithuanian lass then. She's in shock that she's just won gold...

Yep and I'm not quite sure why. I realise that Jackson is sayng it will include the appendices but I don't see what the necessity is for that. The Hobbit was fine without them and the story was light and fun. I really don't see the need to drag the story on so that it leads on to LOTR better. It seems pointless to me and I'm a big fan of The Hobbit.

I'm still worried about the tone of the whole thing too. Hopefully it will be lighter than LOTR as that's the way it should be...

Well they seem pleased enough still

No wonder. It was a massive achievement and they did really well. Made up that they won a medal. It's a shame it wasn't the silver they deserved, yet the bronze is still brilliant.

Absolute bollocks. **** Japanese rocket polishers. Pushed us down to bronze, which is a complete disgrace when it comes to the judges.

Well done to our lads but they deserved the silver. Cheated.

Japan are appealing the decision. We may slip to bronze...

Brilliant stuff from our men in the gymnastics. I never expected a silver there. Amazing!

Had the text updates on the BBC website on in work all day. Luckily they haven't blocked it so I was keeping up-to-date. Looks like the rowing events are still going rather well for us.

Indeed. That was unexpected.

3-1 up in the footy now. Sturridge just scored a peach of a goal.

I would love Sturridge. Young, hungry, versatile and quality.

Speaking of which, he's just scored a peach of a goal...
