Channelling Trev:

'Australia showing how good they are at sticking their oar in - no great surprise there!'

Meanwhile, in tennis, it's Demented By Name v Demented By Nature in an all-Russian semi: Elena Dementieva v Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Zvonareva, who is well known to be several strings short of a tennis racquet.

Good effort by the guys, they're only a young crew.

Another win for the imperialists.

We're guaranteed a women's individual pursuit gold too.

The final will be contested by two Brits! Very Happy

That is incredible ... they were a powerhouse in the pool for some years.

Aye - a sh!thouse performance. I imagine something of the chuntering along the lines of 1976 Montreal for you guys and Atlanta 96 for us...

That would make a good sporting book title.

POWERHOUSE TO SHITHOUSE

Yeah. The Mens 470 seems to be 22 points ahead so even 20 points for last will mean they still win. The girls are 18 points ahead.

How are the Pommy crews doing who were looking good this time yesterday - Ynglings wasn't it?
