McKeever in the canoe sprint. It just keeps getting better.

Superb sprint! Led from beginning to end. Can the disappointing Tom Daley turn things around?

Superb sprint! Led from beginning to end. Can the disappointing Tom Daley turn things around? Speaking of the disappointing Tom Daley it seems to me that none of the main poster boys and girls in the build-up have won a gold yet? I don't think it's coincidence that the ones doing the adverts and talk shows in the build-up have been the only ones to slightly disappoint so far where as the ones who have been quiet and got on with the training are the ones who exceeded expectations and got most of the Gold. Obviously some of the more experienced ones like Hoy who have been there and done it have done the adverts and got the golds but most of the ones in their first Olympics who grabbed the limelight before hand seem to have flopped a bit.

Jess Ennis? She was poster girl No.1! The exception that proves the rule I'd put her more in the been there done that category. I know she wasn't in Beijing due to injury but she's won world and european championships before and is just that good. I was meaning more the Shanaze Reade, Holly Bleasdale, Kerry Anne Payne... who were all disappointing. I think Tom Daley and the others in the diving are all going for Bronze behind the two Chinese!
