Just a thought. Anyone else think that KJT should drop the heptahlon and concentrate on high jump and long jump?

She's a poor thrower, a fair hurdler, a good sprinter, but she's the best we've got at high jump (a British record) and probably near best at the long jump. Concentrate on these without the other distractions/disappointments and she could possibly come away with two medals.

No. She just needs the learn to throw as well as Jess then she will win gold. She isn't tall enough to compete with the world's top 6 at High Jump and isn't quick enough to win a long jump medal. You can't get taller or much quicker at 23 but you can get stronger and get a better technique.

Feel a bit gutted for him, took a slightly safer routine to guarantee a medal but that gave it to Max really.

Brilliant though. Murray to come, Gold likely in Sailing. Gold & Silver in pursuit guaranteed.

Forget super Saturday, it's scintillating Sunday!

Glued to the golf? Have a word with yourself. 

Should have been glued to the equestrian events, I suppose

(that'll be too subtle for some)
