What is it with penalties????

Why can we here in the British Isles NEVER win a penalty shoot out at the highest level?

I knew team GB were going to lose as soon as we knew it was penalties....

But what about Jess Ennis!!! - fantastic Olympian, wonderful personality, and a true heroine - we have another great athlete in the mold of Denise Lewis and Fatima Whitbread, - Great stuff!!. The most successful day in British Olympic history for 104 years! - am really proud to be British tonight....

Come on Andy Murray!

Indeed, I thought I was going to wake up from that dream at some stage.

Ennis was superb, but immediately after, Greg Rutherford picked up GOLD in the long jump.
Then.... Mo Farah ran the race of his life to hold off the best 10,000 metre men in the world to scoop another fantastic GOLD.

It was truly a historic night for British sport.   $uk $uk $uk

That medal table position will never be beaten for the rest of time.

Mo Farah was magnificent!. His reading of the last 100 meters was amazing - the way he was watching the pack and waiting - keeping his cool and waiting for the moment to give it everything he had - truly spectacular!. The emotion Mo showed at the end said it all - he is a truly great Briton, and anyone who loves Great Britain will be truly proud of him and his fantastic achievement today as the first British athlete to win the 10000 meters...

I actually think that tonight's achievements eclipse the Bradley Wiggins achievement quite easily.  :cyclist40:

Indeed;  we're rather unlikely to beat either China or the US anytime soon.

Despite my rather lukewarm interest in the Olympics, my Daughter is having a great time there.  She  is a driver for a Horse Transport Company and has the job of ferrying one of the overseas Olympic Equestrian Teams to and from the Games.  She says that she feels very proud to just be a small part of what is happening.  I'll have to give her her own Gold Medal as a reward for her effort.  (She is, of course, being paid by her employer!)
