It sometimes pays to wait a bit before jumping in with both feet.

Men's triathlon gold and bronze for Team GB, impressive.

In a major shock Australia didn't take the silver

Australia will get at least one gold tonight in the 100mtr hurdles. Pearson is in a different postcode in that.

Queen Victoria races for gold against Meares later, eek!

I'd like to congratulate Australia for whining, whinging and bitching themselves to another gold..... We all expected a race, not more complaints and bitching.

The infringement was for leaving the sprinter's line. It's always close in these decisions but I think VP was harsh done by.
