Oh, for the whole thing? I assumed you just meant at the moment.

Personally I would have thought this Ramadan thing was a positive boon for the Muslim athletes? - because doesn't observing Ramadan make you fast?

Thank you. Or should it be 'sorry!'?

I think Mo Farah explained that, as a Muslim, you are allowed to "postpone" your fasting for Ramadan if it clashes with something in your life that makes it impractical.

Two weeks.

Feels like a year

I wish it was. It's been great.

Even though she reminds of Stacey Solomon with a helmet, I'm finding Laura Trott really cute and bubbly. I wouldn't mind a couple of nights on the Trott.

excelent interview with dutch girl who bopped the bottle tosser, why would you get the rarest possible tickets just to be a tit?

Women's boxing! Omigawd! Men's boxing's bad enough.

I didn't think it was possible for the 100m final to get any more exciting, then I saw Ryan Bailey in lane 8.

Usain who?

Ah, I thought he looked quite nice too. He did a very cute smile at the camera I seem to remember.

Is there something about women's athletics/boxing/ whateversporty where you have to have no bust or you're not allowed in, or is it just a co-incidence?

I imagine a) the tight tops flatten you out so you look to have less boob than you actually do, and (b) big boobs would be a hindrance in running about so maybe the larger of boob get put off sport as a career, and (c) they usually have no body fat, so boobage amounts probably go down too when they lose weight.
