"Like Gwyneth Paltrow with genuine emotion"

It's a tin for Nick Dempsey who finished 4th, dropping out of the medals on his race, but Windsurfing bronze for Bryony Shaw (and a standy-uppy one), and boy was she happy - sitting in the boat, crying her eyes out, swearing on the telly and everything - brilliant stuff:

"I am just so happy. It was such a hard race and I had such a hard week. It's the best thing in the world. I love my mum and dad so much, they are so supportive. And my boyfriend Greg. My coach Tom is such a legend. I am so forking happy. I just wanted to sail as fast as I could. Well done to the Chinese and Italian girls, they have raced so well this week. I am so happy to be among the medals. It's unreal, I am just so happy."

And as if that wasn't enough, Silver & Bronze for Keri-Ann Payne and Cassie Patten in the 10 km Open Water swimming for ladies - with a bit of fighting and foot pulling at the end from the perfifious Johnny Foreigner (who won)!



Meanwhile, a very funny incident at the Great Wall of China, as described by Dom Joly
