    Just check back regular cos tickets are going on in the evenings, Tuesday they had tickets for every day of the athletics, I was tempted but didn't even try in the end I am not made of money to go twice!

    Yeah they just had 20 pound tickets for the Athletics tomorrow, but when I had them in my basket it wouldn't go further!

    i didnt see £20 ones but saw some £40 ones but like you it all went wrong when you tried to go further. That website is abit misleading and screwed up! I will check again later today.

    I will keep monitoring during the course of the day. The athletics messed up as it is showing there are tickets for tomorrow but when you click "select" it says they are unavailable. Btw if you are interested in paralympic tickets there are loads available still at very good prices. I haven't bought anything so far as I am looking for something that is either on the weekend or a weekday after 7pm.

    Lol everyone keeps saying that. Very impressive times in the women's 100m heats. I am going to the gym at 10am this morning so I will miss some of the races. Should be back home by about 11:30 latest.

    Btw, there were lots of athletics tickets and some for other events up lastnight. They were either at the top end price though or saying not available when you go to the next stage.

    Some of the countries are setting houses to support their teams and as it's the 50th anniversary of independence Jamaica has set up a house at the 02 with DJ's and of course food. Should be a good night out

    The real Jamaica House flopped tho so there is one at O2 and a festival near Stratford but the real idea never happened.

    Yes! I was hoping it would have been gold and silver but that'll do.
    Hope there will be more success stories tonight.

    And Bolt is the only man to legitimately repeat at the Olympics. So proud of him. Asafa was a disappointment and I think people are getting tired of it now. Big ups to Blake in his first Olympics. Gold and Silver....YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Asafa was Injured Bad from before trials, he eased down in the Semis cos he needed to, he did his best.

    Maybe his best would have been not to compete at all (listen to your body!). If you are injured why not stay home instead of going there and embarrass yourself like that. Sorry, but I am not going to make excuses for him. We have been here many times before where he is concerned.


    YEAHH!! Well done Bolt and Blake! Awesome work guys. Looking forward to the 200m

    His personal best would be 2nd. He has every right to be there until he finishes 4th in the trials.

    200m will be good, glad them finals are not for a few days need to calm down and just enjoy some events lol
