That's the catch with beach volleyball, I reckon. Yet to see a stunner.

Lizzie Armitstead is a looker. Together with Vicky Pendleton, GB cycling is looking good in more ways than 1

Been overruled by girls on beach volleyball. They'd rather watch waterpolo...

GB women have beaten Canada 2-1 in the beach volleyball. A big well done to them.

Senegal have beaten Uruguay 2-0 in men's football. Bad result for Uruguay, but a good result for Team GB who give themselves a great chance of qualifying from their group if they can beat the UAE tonight.

When is Rebecca Adlington swimming? Will watch the football until she's swimming and switch over.

Ellen Gandy came last in her final for GB in the 100m Butterfly. Team GB also lost in the waterpolo I believe. On the plus side, GB women are 3-0 up against Japan in the hockey.

Rebecca Adlington takes bronze, chalk up medal number 2 for GB. It was a good swim from her, she has a good chance of Gold in the 800m. In the men's handball, we're being hammered by the French but that's no real surprise. We're still winning in the football and hockey and only just trailing in the basketball against Russia.

Lightweight GB boxer Josh Taylor has just won 13-9 and is through to the last 16. In the women's hockey, GB have beaten Japan 4-0 Liam Tancock is also through to the 100m backstroke final for GB

Adlington swam very well there . Congrats to here and team GB I think there are a few more medals for them in the pool. Ireland don't have hope in the pool, really a few are a bit too young but will learn from the experience.
You lot are spoiled with all the medals ye get!

Dave, do you exclusively support GB or would you be supporting Ireland too? Or would it just be NI athletes ala Barnes and Kearney (Judo yesterday I think she is from NI) that you would support for Ireland

UAE have just clipped the outside of the post. Warning signs for Britain, we need to double this lead.

She's kept her medals for some strange reason even though she was guilty of doping, she skipped tests after the games and was only caught a few years after so the likelihood is she was doping during the games.

Michelle de Bruin? She was never found guilty of doping, her husband was found guilty of supplying Thom

Similar to the Senegal game, sat back far too early.

These 4 teams look very similar in quality in this group..luckily they have equalised early in this game- we have time to get the winner(or lose

Two years after the Atlanta Games, FINA banned Smith for four years for tampering with her urine sample using alcohol.[1] She appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Her case was heard by a panel of three experienced sports lawyers, including Michael Beloff QC. Uniquely for a CAS hearing, De Bruin's case was heard in public, at her own lawyer's request.[7] FINA submitted evidence from Dr Jordi Segura, head of the IOC-accredited laboratory in Barcelona, which said she took the bodybuilding drug Androstenedione, a metabolic precursor of testosterone, the night before the test. It also became known that three samples, taken between November 1997 and March 1998, had shown traces of Androstenedione.[5][8][9] The CAS upheld the ban.
Billy, tampered with her sample, she was guilty but we kept the medals. So shut your trap.
Dave are you an Ireland and GB guy or just GB? Or the NI athletes who compete for Ireland.

So shut my trap? Ok, didnt expect that from you Thom.
I am sure that she was exonerated due to her husband admitting to the tampering and the supplying of of drugs to others.
I have no problem being wrong but no need to be like that.

The handball finished 44-15 to France. Ouch. Plenty of time left in the football to get the winner, remember UAE posed Uruguay a few problems as well! Spain still 1 down to Honduras and could be going out.

to be honest, it is already an achievement for GB to put a handball team together so fair play to them...
anyway, great day for france : 4 medals including 2 golds in the swimming pool and the best ever revenge against the americans on the 4*100m men.

I've looked everywhere but can't find an answer to this question...
Does playing at the Olympics count as a cap? Surely it doesn't as the selections are limited to under 23s bar three, but does anybody know the actual answer?
