2. Favourite athlete never heard of before: Nandor Fazekas - hungarian handball player who in the quarterfinals saves a penalty with hungary 1 down and 12 seconds to go and then manages to get the ball back in play for them to score an equaliser ...... I was there!!! he then celebrates by doing a few splits in his area!!!
3. Favourite Sportspeople: Chris Hoy / Laura Trott /Jade Jones were my favourites
4. Favourite performance - Mo's 5,000 - just did not think he could do it again and the final lap was simply amazing. Also, the stanning/glover gold as this was our first and everyone was getting a bit nervous......
5. Favourite non-GB medal: - venezualan fencer - just went mental and is now a national hero as first gold in forever!
6. Favourite Team GB medal - thought the women's pursuit and the men's team gymnastics (coz we used to be rubbish at this...)
7. Favourite Punditry: Cav in velodrome, thorpe's outfits and the gymnastics commentator who on the last tumble of the men's team gymnastics, as it pauses, whispers " come on young man, nail it...." and kristian thomas then does so and he goes completely nuts
8. Venue - too many to choose from - went to the equestrian eventing in greenwich park and that was immense for the cross country bit
9. Stuff I saw: games of table tennis simultaneously at the excel and only 5 rows from the front - pretty amazing and the horses in the cross country, iceland-hjungary qaurterfinal (2 periods of extra time.....)
10. Favourite stat - alastair brownlee's 10k time...... amazing
11. favourite redgrave hug - grainger
12. Face of the games - ennis
13. Mathias Stenier Saharan for dust - pendleton's keirin gold after being disqualified in the team sprint
14. Dustiest moment - so many! possibly Nicola Adams winning and then a bit later jade jones winning - both seriously hard and rather wonderful - loved the "will celebrate with nandos" from adams - also le clos's dad's total emotional meltdown on live telly
15. Derek redmond moment: the british javelin lady goldie sayers trying to throw with torn elbow ligaments (so torn that they had come off the bone.......)
16. One to Watch - KJT and new cyclist generation
17. Best celebration - tom daley and jade jones
18. Best Quote: anyone who did not say "it is unbelievable" when they won
19. Villain - gary lineker - you were awful.
BBC highlights programme, where were the highlights?? talking shite with old olympians does not count as highlights, Gabby!! Just because we can all get to see everything online does not mean that a good 90 minute run through at the end of the day should be changed into that rubbish we got !!!!!
UCI - firstly for changing the rules for not allowing more than 1 per country and second for the ruling against pendleton in the final when meares basically rode into her
