An Italian called Jacobs wins the men's 100m.

Never heard of him before.

He's always been around, but he's a bit "hit or miss", so the Jury's out. Whistle

You'll need to have been born in the 50s to understand that one.

Great news from the new kids on the bikes, hopefully repeated in the velodrome by some of the older kids.

Hello there. ?

I might be a bit cream crackered but I remember his Sounds of the 50s show on Radio 2, before it became "trendy".

The hot favourites for the Women's footy, the USA are out. Beaten 1-0 in the semis by Canada.

Chinese woman wins weight lifting, New Zealand competitor failed on the snatch. You can make up your own mind on that one

If we haven't had enough drama, we now have a hockey shoot out. Sick

Come on you Canajuns, just watched the highlights and that Canajun keeper looks like she'd give Schoffer a run for his money.

As for Mr. Jacobs, Snoots, that was waaaaaaaaaaaay before Radio 2 was ever born. The Light Programme perhaps? Juke Box Jury was back when we all lived in a black and white tellybox land. It was always a bit Hit or Miss but Oi'll give it foive, which was another show all together. Thank Your Lucky Stars that's not still around.

The Matilda's appear to have had a perfectly good goal disallowed for something only the ref saw. It's high time they explained their decisions after the match at any level.

So Swedes v Canajuns in the final.

The Yankee Boys of Summer just lost 7-6 to the home team - Japan wearing a uniform that looks remarkably like the New York Yankees uniform. Laugh

Watched this morning's velodrome cycling featuring the 4th Australian's handlebars falling off in mid-race. It was lucky he was at the back, if he'd been the lead rider he would have wiped out everybody else as well. GB through to the last 4 in both Men's and Women's Team Pursuit.

Ooh aye. That were barmy. Sick
