DAY 7 Olympics 2012

THIRTY SEVEN medals after 7 days and MURRAY finally wins a final at Wimbledon. What another excellent day at our home Olympics. It absolutely hammered down today. the nutjob next door was spiking his lawn cos it was flooding with so much rain.Eedgit, it is flooding cos the ground is saturated! leave it and it will drain naturally.Torrential rain was an excuse for me to shut the door batten down the hatches and take on another all day dose of Olympic adrenalin. Only two golds today but gosh it could have been FIVE quite easily. Poor old Christine Onohuru just left it a tadge too late to defend her 400 m title from the American Sanya Ross whatever and Louis Smith had EXACTLY the same total score as his nearest opponent on the pommel horse only to lose it on the mark for execution.Another gold slipped thru the fingers as our Star craft were just beaten by the swedes in the last 200 metres of their epic tussle. Ben Ainslie flew the flag proud again for a gold after a long week. His 4th Olympic gold makes him the most decorated yahtsman ever. he says Rio will not see him as his body shows signs of wear and tear. I`m not too sure!! More silver came when Murray and Robson just missed out on the Gold after smashing the first set. A Gold and a Silver for Murray must be the highlight of his career. In the vellydrome Ed Clancy added a bronze to his gold in the team pursuit in the weird omnium a 6 event epic over 2 days . I suppose it is the cyclin equivalent of the heptathlon. Bolt celebrates the second fastest time in history for the 100m in typical lightning style. Outside of the British interest Insane Bolt did it again becoming the first since Carl lewis to retain the Olympic title in the blue ribbon 100 m sprint. His training pal from Jamaica took silver while the unpopular Gatlin stole bronze from Tyson Gay who was seriously dissapointed. Gay has come back fron hip sugery this year and it must have been galling for him to be pipped by a drugs cheat!! On a more local note I was pleased to see Chambers elominated at the Semi Final stage whilst Adam Gemeli at 18 did him self proud finishing 3rd in his semi fina ljust outside his own personal best. Campbell secured our first Boxing medal in the bantamweights while we have two more chances tomorrow with the lightweights and the superheavyweights. Beth Tweddle goes tommorow in the high bars and also some more gold should be ours in the vellydrome as Pendleton and Kenny go for Gold in their finals. Phew , it`s all getting too much... my eyes are like matchsticks ....catch ya tomorrow...
