    I hope it is some sort of mistake and he took something in a supplement without knowing.

    Like Asafa Powell who no one now respects and who the BBC constantly label as a "drug cheat"?

    One of the Canadian shooters gave birth just 2 weeks ago, shows up Jess Ennis as a bit of a skiver.

    shooting is far less physically intensive than the heptathlon.

    Shooting gets very interesting now with the lowest one after 2 single shot gets eliminated into the last women stands.

    Great new format in the shooting, they now got to an elimination round, the worst shot of the 10 drops out after 1 round, and so on until there is a winner.

    Shock result on the Shooting, one of the favorites and the person that topped the qualifying goes out in 7th place.

    Shooting format is great, but they need to have the graphics on screen all the time.

    Don't think the Boxing has started yet. Scheduled to start around now through but is probably delayed.

    Netball has finished England 65-25 Wales. Second consecutive defeat for Wales while England get off to a winning start.

    No headguards in the boxing and a cut and swelling in the first bout.

    yeah they will be, India have apparently been set a target of 125 Medals to win.
    I will be surprised if they reach 110, they would have done well to reach 100.

    I was watching the shooting, but it's hardly shooting... why all the gizmos and gadgets? It's what annoys me about sports like that, the equipment practically does all the work. Give them something like a glock and then see who the real best shot is.
    Watched the end of the boxing just now, why no headguards for amateur boxing? I thought they had to wear them?

    Well the women have to wear headguards but the men don't for some reason.

    Must be making it more like professional boxing as the scoring sytem has also changed to scoring the rounds 10:9 10:8 or a draw.
