Olympic chat thread 2 Gold edition.

[DesolateWaist]

What a way to start.

[DesolateWaist]

Second place.

[Flisspaps]

I've had Spandau Ballet playing in my head for the last few hours

[BeJayKayven]

WooHoo - arise Sir Andy!!!
Del Potro (sp) seems lovely 😍 but brilliant result for team GB 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😂

[onlywhenyouleave]

I am so tired but need to see this medal ceremony...

[DesolateWaist]

The cat is very annoyed with me.
She gets some biscuits at bedtime. She wants to know why I'm still up.

[gratesnakes]

I'm tired too but the tennis went on so long that now it's nearly the 100 metres. Aaarggh. Must go to bed. Goodnight.

[Fedupofallthemud]

Me too where has it gone? Tooo tired to remember if I changed the channel!

[Flisspaps]

Me too only, I think we deserve to see our winnings, clearly it was MN support that gave him the edge so it's our medal too forget I suggested taking silver I didn't mean it

[Flisspaps]

They'll go back to it on BBC 1 once they've finished fannying about I think, so they're showing the 100m semis

[derxa]

C'mon Usain

[onlywhenyouleave]

fliss yes, our support clearly helped they need to get on with it!!

[onlywhenyouleave]

Maybe it took them a while to locate Nishikori

Andy looks like he is struggling to hold it together

[DesolateWaist]

Can't believe they haven't cut back over to the tennis medals.

[DesolateWaist]

Poor Murray. He looks knackered.

[Flisspaps]

Just caught the medals on the arse end of nowhere channel 576

[DesolateWaist]

He's broken his ornament!

[Fedupofallthemud]

Sitting here waiting to see it!

[DesolateWaist]

I'm watching it all online via Apple TV. Just pick the stream from the iplayer app.

[TendonQueen]

What a match! Both of them were awesome. So glad Andy prevailed. Either would have been a worthy winner but it is a fantastic achievement for him and Team GB.

Elsewhere, Bolt ran 9.84 very easily in his semi. It will be Bolt v Gatlin in final. I wouldn't bet against Bolt.

[FranHastings]

What did he do with the ornament once he broke it?
Thought he seemed exhausted too. Managed to find it on an iplayer stream too.

[TendonQueen]

Above comment wouldn't post on the previous thread so I brought it over. Have gone up to bed now after fruitlessly searching for tennis medal ceremony. I'll have to find it tomorrow. How emotional was it?

Can't stay up for Bolt. Too tired now.

[FranHastings]

Not very emotional, I think they'd already done their crying.

[DesolateWaist]

He hid the ornament behind his back!

I follow his dog on Twitter.

[AmIthatbloodycold]

What a lovely thread to find.

I cried out. The ceremony was good. Delpo should be proud of his silver medal but Andy, back to back gold medals, is someone to be very proud of

[FranHastings]

Love the dogs.

I don't think I've ever seen two tennis players look halfway to death like that through the last set. Such respect between then too at the end. Was a great example of sportsmanship.
