    Although two golds have been won today we are a bit below our par score for the day.
    Wiggins and the rowing girls were nailed on.
    Pooley had a good chance in women's TT but got nothing.
    Men's 8 got bronze but had a decent (but difficult) chance for gold.

    But see what happens in the swimming in the men's 200m breaststroke.

    Not watched any of the olympics after I come home from work, will watch the athletics though.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Senegal losing to UAE and GB holding their own against youragay, might get through as group winners.

    Sorry to disrupt the one word post rhythm, but thought I'd mention Luke Campbell getting the win. The Italian was a brawler who came in to disrupt and put Campbell off his game. Campbell boxed okay, and eventually won 11-9.

    That means that Team GB's boxers are undefeated with a 100% victory ratio so far, and Anthony Joshua has the honour of being backed by @Fenster to win at 11.15 tonight. So the smart money has to be on Savon.

    The weightlifting has been canny so far. The Chinese fella who won the 77kg today was impressive, broke his own world record on the snatch and took the overall record too. It was a shame the younger Chinese injured his elbow on the snatch, it would have been interesting to see those 2 trying to best each other for the gold.

    Bit gruesome when the Korean dislocated his elbow though.

    I hate to say it, but to have Joshua winning the first and the second rounds must be down to home advantage, Savon looks to be the quality boxer here. Joshua needs to play it smart and avoid the right.

    To me it looks like the Fenster curse did for Joshua, Savon dominated the third, and I reckon his third round should overturn the two point deficit.

    Oooooh, Anthony Joshua is a very lucky boy. It was a fairly close fight, but I think Savon will feel harshly treated there.

    It was close,Savon was sharp but not hard done by. Joshua can build on that.

    He probably needs to improve another 20% for the next fight, and a tight guard will be vital. The Chinese guy landed a big KO punch in his fight.
