Though I'd start a thread as this is an event that all of us will only experience once in a lifetime......to me the best part will be the legacies with the superb infrastructure left behind....

Bet on a win....so that wasn't so good,.....only saw the last 20mn...can't say I was impressed by what I saw.....we don't have any decent playmakers any longer in this country anymore...

rf ... the last 20 mins were the most entertaining.

Crikey.....what did I miss ?..

Don't worry, Japan 1 Spain 0. Japan had over 10 opportunities, while Spain had only two!!!!

Yes, Team GB had a couple of opportunities, but Senegal had more!!

Briton like negative stories and they get it. This is the culture developed over the last 10-12 years. Sorry to say that there is no courage to help development, even in sport.

The media in general (SUN, News of the World, etc, even BBC) are responsible.

A truly vibrant ceremony given to the people by the people. The firing up of the cauldron quite extraordinary. Well done London :)

No cycling medal......big bad surprise...

Enjoyed Mr Bean.

Sorry, ahoj, ypu can't blame the News of the World anymore.

Bean there.

Bravo Lizzy......UK's first medal......so close to a gold......superb bike race.....incredible number of spectators along the way......perhaps half a million.....quite incredible.....

Stunning performance by the GB gymnastic team. Bronze medal against all expectations, what a marvellous around performance.

I feel a bit sorry for the Ukranian team who had bronze but lost it on the Japanese appeal.

These decisions should be made before the official awards are made.....even if it takes a few minutes......this is too big a mistake to make.....well done the GB team.....fantastic result....against the best in the world !....

There's the craziest tennis match of them all going on : Tsonga-Raonic....the third set is mad...mad...mad...20-19 as I write......unbelievable....

Looking forward to the 200 breast stoke for men tomorrow, 2 brits 1st and 3rd fastest. Well done to ladies footie team on beating Brazil.

Nice one Wiggo and the girls in the rowing.

Double Gold alert for GB!: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19100754

Yes - I wonder if François Hollande is still as smug.
