Leaping back in here:

There was a very good documentary on just before the Olympics started which traced the history of the 100m, and Wells featured quite a bit in it.

There was perhaps something about his victory being a bit against the run of things at the time (no pun intended!) as he didn't have to face the Americans, but I think the main reason he doesn't get featured so much is because he was the last of an era: he was the the last of the "power" sprinters who dominated the 70s, and he isn't really representative of the tall, long-legged athletes who dominate the event now...

I wonder if the Springbok bloke was thinking "nooooo that's my name tag from my first Olympics! I want it!!!!"  

Yeah there may be a point there EL 

He'll get another one  He's also in the Para Olympics  

Go Christine! 

C'mon! 

Well done   

Well done Christine.

well done Christine  hard luck after a bad couple of years 

That was grit.

Well done Christine  

Is this even a legal move in olympic wrestling?

Wow! That finish! Another medal in the bag.

Did she get a medal? I missed it!  

I think the judge says 'Noooooooo!' 

Oooh.... just seen the replay, that was a great finish! 

Silver Ducks 

silver, she was going like a train last 100 Ducky 

ROFL Trust you to lower the tone.

She ran a fab race!

It was a great race! Wow! 

Wow silver! Well done girl 

 The Full Thrust.

I know the Judge looks like he's saying 'break boys'.  Next shot he has a bucket of water

At least it's helping me to take an interest in the Olympics.  I was mesmerised this afternoon when they kept mentioning Coquard. 

My Auntie says she's heard each country that competed is going to get one of those 'petals' from the cauldron 

I think you'll find that it was the Hidden Crotch Grab Manoeuvre. Legal move before the Full Thrust which is often frowned on in the sport. 

Well done Luke Campbell.... another medal for GB in boxing

GB just guaranteed a medal in the boxing.

But have missed out on a medal in the Water Polo.

What did he get, Bethni?

Well done Luke.

Really?! Wow! 

Aura of invisibility? Is he talking Harry Potter?

*shouts for the hard of hearing* Invincibility?
