Another gold (but not that one)

tourmalineMore medals, and we're just managing to stay ahead of Russia overall. Unfortunately the much-heralded Shanaze Reade crashed out of the BMX race, leaving the Games not with a gold medal but a badly damaged hand. But we have had some successes:
Gold - Canoeing - Tim Brabants, men's K1 1000m
Silver - Modern Pentathlon - Heather Fell
Bronze - Boxing - David Price, super-heavyweight
Bronze - Boxing - Tony Jeffries, light-heavyweight
James DeGale has made the finals of the middleweight boxing, so that's at least another silver to come. And I'm wondering if anything will come of the controversy over some of the Chinese women gymnasts - if it does come to medals being stripped, that could see Beth Tweddle being moved up from 4th place on the bars. We shall see.
