It seems in this event, age and experience can be a good thing - as Nick has just proved.

Not as fast as Nick I think.

Will be back for Murray's match at 2pm, see you later.

Oh dear, demolition derby here.

I've chanced it with the washing, that rain was just a shower I think but no doubt I'll be running outside again shortly 

Yes Ben! 

I love the colour of that horse 

Looking good for GB. I even think the rain's stopped.

I just Wiki'd Nick, he's 55 (Born on December 30th 1957) 

Have to move over to the Red Button for the show jumping now, but it's not scheduled to start there for another 5 minutes.

 

Quick dash off to get dressed and get some food.

Hockey's over-run a bit, but the show jumping should be on soon.

Just turned over for the show jumping

C'mon Scott 

GB rider next. everybody seems to be getting jumping and/or time faults. Good for GB though.

Oh maaaaaaan! Well done though Scott 

OH NO! 4 faults at the last fence., but if we get a clear by the 4th rider, we'll definitely still be in the lead.

Flippin eck! this Canadian's 65 years old. Nick is a baby compared  

C'mon Peter 

Awww 

Hard lines Peter 

At least  they'll have a chance tomorrow to patch things up.

Yup

Oh, Thought KSA were going to have 3 clears there, that last horse was going so

well.

going off now. Back for the tennis.

See you later 

Quick hi to say that we've just been pipped at the post in the men's sailing ( Star race...Percy and somebody else). We got silver , but lost the good in the last few hundred yards

Gold, not good! Darn predictive text !!

Yeah, I've just seen it.  I blame the bloody Brazillians! 

I've only just got back from town Sprout, and am cooking dinner , so never saw the actual race .... But hey it's another medal

Hi, not sure if the tennis will be on BBC2 or BBC3.

Brazillians seemed to get in our way a lot and take our wind but like you say, it's another medal 

 

They're gutted though 

Did anyone else see the track Omnium cycling yesterday? It's become one of my fave events, so exciting! More to come tonight.

 

Looking forward to the tennis later

I enjoyed the Ommnium too Katerina ....

Yes, and we were watching it this morning too Katerina. GB joint 2nd going into the race this evening. Scheduled for 5pm

Congratulations to our sailing guys for their silver medal.

 

Nervous and excited for Andy Murray.

Looks like the tennis is on BBC1 - any minute now.

I am settled down for the tennis

Slight OT but I wanted you all to know I'm not appy  It's just absolutely stotted down here for ten mins. I've got soaking wet clothes on the line but more importantly a soaking wet garage as I've got a leaky roof.......above an electrical point 

Yay, I'm not moving from my armchair today, other than to make mugs of tea

I've got Ben Ainsley on
