    Great comeback win for the Ausies in the M Doubles Tennis

    They looked gone. But the beauty of the scoring system saw them somehow get to the second set tie breaker, win that and took momentum into the deciding super tie breaker. The yanks almost saved 4 gold medal points but failed on the last. The 40 year old Ram was gutted beyond belief. They should have won but couldn't serve it out when they had the chance. They just couldn't get some first serves in

      Shock in the decathlon as the second and third positioned competitors failed to make a successful height in the pole vault, so they get no points from the event. One of them is the defending champion from Tokyo, the Canadian Warner

        76km to go in the men's road cycle race, there is a Kiwi rider near the head of the peleton, which is only seconds behind a small lead group. There were two, but I can't see the second rider

                    The Dutch anchor in the mixed 4 x 100 is arguably the best run I’ve ever seen.

                    Incredible.

                                Is there any evidence against the Chinese swimmer…or is just that he’s Chinese?

                                        @Billy-Tell probably more casual than actual.

                                        Brett Hawke knew what he was doing.
