Early doors...

They were talking about the German Equestrian European, World & new Olympic champion on radio, Michael Young, and I decided that, given our paucity of gold thusfar, I'd adopt him. Then I read his name - it's actually Jung! Can't really claim him as one of our own anymore.

HOWEVER, the Lithuanian swimmer who won gold in the 100m breastroke is at school in Plymouth: take a bow, honorary team GB adoptee, Ruta Meilutyte!

I know it's only day 4 but there seems to be an air of panic beginning to permeate - where will that first Gold come from. To be fair to Great Britain, the only one we've missed out on so far is Cav, and that was never the banker the hype led people to believe. Daley & Waterfield may have hoped to win a medal but one cock up cost them - I don't think they could have beaten the Chinese anyway. David Florence in the canoe slalom would also have hoped for better.

There's still more cycling, velodrome, rowing to come, the sailing (though Ainslie struggling a bit at the mo), modern pentathlon, triathlon, canoeing, athletics, boxing, more gym - there'll be Gold in there somewhere for sure. Especially in the sitting down sports!

It's way too early to be writing off this team as being unable to deliver under the pressure of being the host nation!
