Olympics Day 9

First topic message reminder :

Right, someone else fill this in if need be. I need to get my breath back, I need to calm right down. 6 golds on Day 8, we've wiped Atlanta away, more golds today, come on sailors, come on Christine, come on Andy, come on Louis Smith, LET'S SMASH 20!

Looking good for ainslie going in to the first mark....

I really hope he wins.

If you had to choose between Murray winning the singles or the mixed doubles with Robson what would you choose? I'd prefer him to win the mixed doubles with Robson

waheyyyyyyyyyyy 15,

GOLD for Ainslie in the Finn...

What a race...

Yes Ben Ainslie you are a great Olympian! Bravo

Greatest Sailing Olympian. Four golds and a silver in four olympics

Three consecutive Golds in three olympics in the same disciplin... something only ever acheived by Carl Lewis, Al Oerter and Ben Ainslie

Well done Ben Ainslie. The King of Sailing. Heartbreak though for Percy and Simpson although a Silver medal is still decent consolation.

Preferably both but Mixed Doubles. Think it would be quite nice for Fed to win the Gold

Come on Murray

GB's first woman boxer at an Olympics has won 21-13 and is through to the Quarters.

Murray wins the first set of the singles final 6-2!

Federer is not looking happy

Federer is rattled. Big chance for Andy

I have never seen Murray play this aggressive before, he is also smiling,

What luck he is having though

Now he breaks, with 2 lucky net chords, come on Murray!!!!!!!!!!

Early break for Murray in the second set, it's all going his way. Gold Number 16 for Britain?

The door opens for Federer...

hahaha hes a lunatic today

everyone in weymouth is cheering on andy murray who is playing superb tennis...

anyone else getting annoyed by the bbc slowing down the platyers reaction after every rally?

Everyone in Wimbledon cheering for Fed, should be taken out of their seats and executed. They took seats off of British fans.

If Andy holds this serve it will be a mirical

They are going to contest this game forever

More pessimism please eirebilly

PHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

wahhaha well done

That was some hold from Murray, that will hurt Federer...

Bloody long game but Murray held out. 6-2, 3-0. Nearly there Muzza!

What a game, that shot down the line was unbelievable.

How I wish this was now best of 3.

is it best of 5 or 2 clear sets?

I love the Olympics and being British. We were out for a mate's birthday last night and watched Mo Farah in a karaoke bar and Jess Ennis in a pub. Some of us genuinely cried

Federer seems to be rushing it also

Federer is not the player to go away, still plenty of tennis in that match.

Best of 5.

No, they are both Olympic finalists and both deserved to be cheered

Ok, so no writing off

Ho hum, ho hum

Not yet Shah, Federer is the greatest of all time and Andy can implode ;-)

A polite round of applause would do, we are British dear boy.

According to the BBC, Murray will only get a 45 minute break between the conclusion of the singles and the Mixed Doubles final. Tough scheduling.

If he somehow loses this i shall sodomise him with a solero - this could be a springboard for him to take that step right up to the top and he has to grasp it with both hands.

Another break for Murray, 8 games in a row I believe!

Murray is playing the best I've ever seen him play

6-2, 5-0. I bet on strange scores, but I was not close to that.

Now why the flip couldn't Murray play like this when it mattered more i.e. the Wimbledon Final about a month ago?

Federer is being decimated.

He played really well in the Wimbledon final! It's the home advantage and the inspiration of the other medal winners. Usually Wimbledon is like a home game for Federer. This time it's definitely not
