And a gold medal for me !.......14.3secs for the Google hurdle game.

Does that count?

It could take the place of synchronised swimming!

13.5s on first attempt. All my finger skills from Daley Thomson's Decathlon on the Spectrum came in useful. Some may say its years of typing on forums but I know better

I don't begin to understand the rules of taekwondo, baffles the hell out of me...but hey it's another gold! Glad to see Daley Thomson made the effort for his tv appearance tonight:smileywink:

I think I'm just beginning to get it, can't say I like it much, still getting my head round the women's boxing, but the medal is great.

Good to see Daley there, comes across as a really nice guy.

Yes, when you watch the slo-mos, a lot of the punches land with the inside of the glove and yet no warnings from the referee. Probably because there's so much padding that they find it difficult to make a proper fist.

Call me old fashioned but women boxing just isn't right. Not for me I'm afraid.

I think it will fade from view after the Olympics, I can't see many wanting to see it.

A lot of youngsters will be attracted to the taekwondo but I won't be following it.

Now Olympics Formula One, Moto GP and Superbike events - now that would draw amazing crowds.............
