After being 8 points behind in the first quarter, USA now level

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is rather tense!

 

[Maltin]

Very good semi-final. Very close. Canada win

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just a leeeeeeetle bit of gamesmanship at the end there...

Brilliant game, actually feel sorry for the USA, but my inherent affection for Canada over America holds out

US made it hard for themselves by losing the first quarter so convincingly.

Russia's knocked GB off 2nd spot in medals table

4x100m women's relay (Final) in swimming next. That was fantastic last night

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

So who's going to win, Pistorius or Oliveira?

It was the result I wanted so I'm happy

Weir's done it again

 

[colacubes]

We went down to catch the beginning at Victoria Embankment. Great atmosphere with everyone being cheered. We're now say at Gordon's listening to the cheers

Wasn't really much TV coverage seems a bit strange they don't cover it properly.

How far behind are you? When's it safe to announce the winner of the women's marathon?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Was just watching Eddie Izzard, and they've just apologised for lack of coverage but the host broadcaster wasn't covering it. Why?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You can talk about the women's. I just refuse to look here 'til I've seen it though

 

[Maggot]

Russia's knocked GB off 2nd spot in medals table

Any chance we could overtake Russia today?

 

[Maltin]

Any chance we could overtake Russia today?

I don't think so. Think Weir's was our last gold medal chance. Ukraine are playing Russia in the football 7 a side final so Ukraine can get one more gold but I don't think they can surpass GB.

If Shelley Woods had won we could have overtaken them

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Nice one Shelley. You could have got Gold and kicked the Russians off 2nd spot though

I think we should look at the Paralympics table based on medals won. We're second in that.

 

[Maltin]

I thought they said the marathon winners got their medals presented in the stadium at the closing ceremony. Obviously not.

Now now, you know only cheats do that

I've been out. Have they all got them already? What about the runners?

 

[Bungle73]

Just came out of the Closing Ceremony. It was brilliant!!

Do you like Coldplay then?

Glad you had a good time. Got any good photos?

 

[Bungle73]

Yes to the first question.

I have some photos but I need to upload them to my PC and check them out first, then I might post some. I only had my iPhone though.
